Identifying brown algae.

[ChaoticReefer]

Can anyone ID this brown macroalgae?

If you want to take a look at other pictures of the algae:

But be warned, the picture files are on the big side.

Thanks.

I didn't look at your other pictures ( I'm on dialup), but this picture looks like it could be Lobophora spp.

Any ideas on what might eat it?

Seahares for sure!

I want a post with experience, not from some one that got their first sea hare five minutes ago. :wink:

Haha! 5 minutes is all that it takes! These guys are eating machines!! Unreal!

hmmm .. not sure what you have there.. looks like the turf is a bit too thick for most snails..perhaps a foxface? Justa guess...

anyone else?
