Default Grape Vines in my tank....



What your thinking of is Valonia, or green bubble algae. The emerald
crab is what is supposed to eat the stuff, yet my 2 emeralds have yet
to touch any of the stuff......so I just remove it with a turkey
baster. Don;t know if the name of the crab you mentined in the
scientific name as I can;t keep up with common names yet alone
scientific names, so it could be the same as an emerald...

Hi All,

I am always finding weird things growing from my LR. About 2 months ago
this stuff appeared that looked like green grape vines. Any idea what it
is? It has started growing everywhere and even though I cull it is is
starting to grow out of my corals and killing them.
