Green Algae

[smegforbrains]

Noticed over the last few days the presence of green algae on my Warship's conning Tower and a couple of turrets.


I wasn't that bothered about it TBH, but the wife pointed out that it is of the slimy variety.


Is this liable to cause me a problem? If so, I will have to remove my Bismark asap and give it a damned good clean

Can you identify it on James' Algae Guide?

From that list I would say the best match to what I have is Rhizoclonium.


Very soft and slimy. Bright green and only in the upper third of the tank.

give us chance to answer lol.


It wont cause a problem unless it starts to grow on plant leaves etc blocking out light which will kill them, otherwise it is ok.
