Dr. Ron won't be back until Saturday, so I can't post it on his forum until then. He might be one of the better folks to post it to. Then, I was thinking of Eric Borneman, but he's been getting threats and bad cr*p happening on his forum, so he's not available until whatever's going on there is cleared up What magazines were you thinking of? I don't have any pics (can't take a good pic for the life of me), but I can send one or both videos. If you have addresses of magazines, I'd appreciate having them. Thanks Angela, You make me smile |

Bev, you could try Calfos forum on the Marine Depot website as well. Sometimes he's pretty handy with the ID's. I swear I've seen that algae before somewhere, I wonder if its in one of his books.

On second though maybe a forum is better (you will get faster results).
If you must try a magazine.......... Try Charles Delbeek at Aquarium Fish Magazine: http://www.aquariumfish.com/aquarium...quest_form.asp choose reef aquarist. if it catches his fancy..... he may answer quickly. Cheers, Vic [veng68] |

Someone on RC suggested a broader search for the genus Predaea.
After MORE Googling, found this pic looks quite a bit like my blob, complete with bubbles inside. Pic is from..... http://www.com.univ-mrs.fr/IRD/atoll...t/ukalgesp.htm ID would be Predaea laciniosa if the above image and what I have are the same. What do y'all think? Could this be the correct ID? Last edited by Beverly; 10-13-2006 at 01:45 AM. |

Well, my first guess would have been Padabaleaaeyayyae-i-e-i-o labeedoobydoobydoo but I suppose Predaea laciniosa seems plausible enough as well.

But yeah, so what Bev has is a funky red alga that occupies outer reef slopes? cool.

Tried saying it THREE times, and still can't get it right
Also IDed another red macroalgae, Gracilaria abbottiana, in my reef from that page.... And some coralline, Mastophora pacifica, too.... Still have one more MA that needs ID. It looks like Amansia rhodantha, but not quite.... That is a cool page for macroaglae ID |

Gads! I'm on a macroalgae roll
Used to have lots of Codium edule until the tank change, from..... http://uhs2-204-1.crdg.hawaii.edu/hw...=new.htm&-view Have some Peyssonnelia sp. .... http://www.poppe-images.com/images/i...p?picid=915078 And from here.... http://www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/eng...nnellia/sp.htm We have a rock encrusted with this Peyssonnelia sp. .... Now, back to the blob. Quote from Anthony Calfo... Quote:
Here's a pic of a Nemastoma sp. from here.... http://www.saltcorner.com/sections/g...Nemastoma2.htm But other photos from algaebase.org do not look anything like our blob. Very confusing |
