ID Please, and good or bad?
This has been growing on one rock in my tank and was curious as to what it is,and if its a good thing or bad thing. Its kinda cool looking, its not a hard growth but soft and moves with the water
   Thanks |

The rock it is on of course is at the bottom of the tank so removal is out, Iam afraid if I try to "rub" or "scrub" it off it might spread any thoughts?

Guys with experience with it, could a refugium keep this in check? I'd say it's taking advantage of something, and phosphate would be a decent guess---which of course your standard algae will suck up in a fuge.

Just an algae, but it's not eyesore, I would leave it there.

I believe that's Lobophora. Getting your surplus nutrients under control is the best approach. I've heard that Naso Tangs may like that stuff.

I think I've seen that called scroll algae. Don't really know much about it.

Definitely looks like Lobophora -> bad. Padina (aka scroll algae) is a desirable macro algae.
