mystery plant in marine tank #1
Hi guys,
New to this site, have a mystery plant for anyone to identify in my newly set up marine tank. The tank has only been up and running for approx 3 months, and these plants have been growing for about 1 month. there is one shoot growing out of each piece of live rock. Any ideas?
The green plants are the ones i require identifying,thanks.

Re: mystery plant in marine tank #2
Welcome to FK, the green "plants" are actually an algae called neomeris annulata or caterpillar weed. It's a very striking coloured algae but doesn't tend to survive very long in aquariums.HTH
