To Hair or Not to Hair...that is the Question...

[Stuart McCowan]

Ok...what I THOUGHT was hair algae APPEARS now to be something else...it has developed a look like the fronds of a fern. It's not fern caulerpa is is smaller, hairier. Any know what this is?? Do I want it??? Or not???
Thanks!

Look for several online closeup pics of Bryopsis algae and tell us if it's a match.

Dunno about photography, sorry

Bryposis or Derbesia. They're sometimes confused with each other (as I learned)

It's not Bryposis or Derbesia at least by the pics...I am working on getting a good pic of it...
