:wave: hello. Another question. I told you it wouldn't be long lol... I've just been looking in my tank and spotted something that I never seen before. It actually looks like a feather duster worm like you get I'm marine. But it's green and sticking out my wood. I've tried to get close up pictures. It is very very tiny.
Is it a new plant growing of some sort or already or something else???? :yikes:

It's a type of algae. I think. I've got that growing on some of my pieces of wood. As it thickens up it looks pretty so I've left it there.

Oh cool. Bet it will look nice. It does look like end of a feather duster worm though lol.

Quite attractive to my mind, I thought you meant a hydra at first, those things are a pain.

Never heard of them. Just looked the name up and don't think it's one of them as it's really fluffy like a fluffy duster. So suppose it's a Moss like plant

Looking at this site (http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/algae.htm) it could be either hair/thread/fuzz algae or Oedogonium.

Oh brill thank you. I'll look them up.
