I am starting up a new reef tank. This algae is growing on the back glas and the oscilator. Has anyone seen this before? Can you identify it for me?

Thank you

Looks like feather culerpa (sp?) - a macro. Not sure of the scientific name.

Hey prrose,

More pictures from different angles would be helpful. Is that picture magnified? It looks like it might be bryopsis or something along those lines.

Yes, it is magnified. I have two rather large pictures, unfortunately they are to large to post. The posted picture is a small portion of one of those pictures. It is growing like crazy.
