Mystery of the Red Leaves...Again

So I honestly can't decide what this is. I'm somewhat leaning towards Dragon's Breath Macroalgae, but I'm honestly not sure. Any thoughts?

Looks like fine Gracilaria(sp). My tang would tear that up, lol.

That's what I thought at first too, but when I looked at pictures of gracilaria, it looked a lot branchier than this...

It looks more like a dragon's breath type then a graci.

 

Graci breaks kind of easy while dragon's breath is pretty tough, like leather.

 

Your anemone seems to be happy underneath it.

It's Halymenia (dragons breath).

It breaks up easily if I pull it out, which is why I kind of thought gracilaria, but it looks like dragon's breath.

And yes, it moved right there...on top of a paly. :laugh:

Cousin it. I just dated mayself.blush.gif

 

there are several types of gracileria(sp) macro. Dragons breath would have grown thicker and wider.

Grrr...I want to get rid of some of it, but if it's something that people with tangs and such want, then I'll give it to them, but if it's dragon's breath... :unsure:
