Some sort of reddish lettuce algae

Not to come across as too scientific, but that color of red reminds me of homemade cinnamon xmas candy for some reason. : ) Mmmmm. Xmas candy.

Its actually kind of cool looking whatever it is.

That's awesome, do you have any herbivorous fish that will eat it? It would be cool to harvest it and feed it to tangs and what not, if they accept it.

 

I had some of that once tell my sailfin tang noticed it.

Yeah..try growing it in your sump. If you start getting it to grow good and your tangs like it, I may buy a bit from you. Randy was talking about how a growing trend is to grow as much of your own food as possible. Macro and pods in your fuge, and supplement with a little here and there as needed. He was saying that the red/brown algaes are the best when growing as food.
