NotKelly Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 looks more like cyanobacteria to me, does it have bubbles in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Fan Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 A closeup or clearer picture would help with an ID. Best regards,StuartSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy6107 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 is it black beard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Fan Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 I don't believe it is black beard. I'm under the impression that it could be cladophora. Often when someone keeps Moss balls in their tank, the algae can transfer to an adjacent surface. This could be hardscape (driftwood or rocks) or other more rugged plant surfaces (such as Anubias).JM2¢.Respectfully,StuartSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk huntingtrees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valek Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Honestly I've given up trying to find out what it is. It looks like all plants are cover by a green fleece. It doesn't grow long and the snails eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntingtrees Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I second cladophora, especially if it's like a carpet of moss that is matted and hard to remove. It will probably come off if you rub it gently with a sponge, taking care not to damage the plant underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
