Forgot what it's called, but the red poofy algae.  It doesn't cling onto things very well, but that is it's benefit as it gets blown around the tank, stuck between the branches of corals, or even growing between polyps, nasty nasty stuff.

At home:

Bryopsis. The single most annoying thing in my reef over time. I guess monti nudies or AEFW were annoying too, but bryopsis seems forever.

At work:
Red puffy algae.

Bryan, ian (and lapsan!) tried to spend mine yesterday lol. His influence is strong and my will may break with "residual ian".  Soon, I'll be a zombie and must have brains.  very pretty brains!

and my sixline...he decided to jumo out of the tank a couple of weeks ago.  too bad I actually liked him.

Yeah Ian is a silvered tongue person, whenever I see him he's always saying "Mike I think you should get it.."  it being anything I'm looking at :D  I think that's the real way he gets first pick at everything that comes in the stores, he brings in business for them Laughing out loud

I believe the exact wording is "Dude, you need to get [insert expensive item here]" Smile

I have to know Tony, what did I almost make you buy yesterday.
