Macro Algae Id?

[eelmedusa]

On my coralline I’ve got some green growth, anyone know what it is?

Is there a runner connecting all the stems?

If so, I'd guess some sort of Caulerpa.

They are stand alone pieces, they’ve sprouted up all over the tank. The picture is of the largest ones

Hmm - it doesn't resemble any of the nuisance algae that I'm familiar with. Maybe someone else can come in with some help, but I'm not sure.

Is it growing quickly? Causing any issues?

It is growing steadily, but not quickly enough to be a problem/ cause any issues. I think it looks nice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, if you don't mind it, I wouldn't worry too much. Macroalgae is good for nutrient export, any way - it'll lower nitrate and phosphate.

Just watch it, and make sure it doesn't smother out any corals. Maybe keep it trimmed in a 1" circle around all of your corals and such, to give everything room to breathe.

Could be mangrove shoots ,Codium decorticatum or Neomeris annulate
