Algae Id Help

Just when you think you have seen them all, you get a new hitchiker. And this coral skeleton with zoas has been the most interesting piece I have ever had. So far it has sprouted Aptasia, Bubble Algae, Red Wire Algae and now this:

Looks like bryopsis to me.

I don't think so, I have had Bryopsis before and it's really feathery. This is stalky, jointed and rubbery

I have done some more digging. This is almost certainly Cladophoropsis.

I've never heard of it. I read your link though. It doesn't sound like the author had much to say about it either. I have an emerald crab if you want to give him a try.

Thanks for the offer. There were only 3 tiny sprigs, all less than 2 cm in length. I pulled them off with surgical clamps, doing my best to get the holdfasts to come off with the plant. I'll just watch the coral skeleton they were on for a recurrence.

Looks like common turf algae to me. Used to get tons off my algae scrubber.

Perhaps Cladophora rupestris?
