Newbie Question - Green Plants on Rocks
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Hi Everyone... 
 
Need your advice on something.  I have a 35G Red Sea Max aquarium...it's 7 weeks old.  I have 2 clown fish, 7 blue hermit crabs, 5 turbo snails, some star polyps and blue/green mushrooms.  I also have about 20lbs of live rock (that was cured for 5 weeks. 
 
Over the past few weeks I have this cluster of long green plants developing on the rocks.  One rock in particular has a lot of it...it almost completely covers it.  I have attached pictures of the plants.  Is this a natural occurance?  Should I just leave it?   
 
I check my water levels every week and do a 20% water change every 2 weeks.  No problems at all with this part. 
 
Let me know if you need more information. 
 
Thanks again for your help 
 
Edward
