As per the title I noticed this thing on my gsp after it closed up for the night.
I assume its some kind of algae but I would apreciate an expert opinion.
Sorry for the bad picture...bad light
Thanks

Hi si looks like caulerpa racemosa to me, imo you don't want it in your tank as once the rhizoids ( roots ) grip the rockwork it will spread and you will struggle to remove it without a natural predator.

I pulled it out today but I doubt I got all of it so I guess I will be pulling more out as time goes on.
All part of the fun.
