Can't really make it out, but it looks like a good micro algae.

Yes I took many pictures of the algae but it seems to be a hard one to photograph, maybe I will cut a piece and try to take one out of the tank. Thanks saitoking

This is a current picture of the algae, it's getting rather larger. Anything I need to know about trimming algae? Thanks saitoking

This looks a lot like something Hannah (little_fish) had in her tank. It's super pretty but it spreads like CRAZY. I'd move that rock away from the other ones.

Well about 18 months ago I moved it to a place away from other live rock, off to the side. Now it''s very large. Glad I moved it, it has not spread to many other places. Thanks Erin.

Thanks for the info I am never sure what may be bad or good when something just starts growing.

I forget what the hell it's called, but Live Aquaria charges $40 for a rock of it. I have GOBS in the 57 rimless. I had some Dragon's breath, but it decided it didn't like me anymore, lol.
