Is this red stuff cyano? Also, on the picture that I have zoomed in on, is that a zoa? [Edit: looks like the picture didn't zoom, sorry, possible zoa to the top left side of the red stuff]

Thanks!

Red slime algae? Anything I should do? I've been doing 25% water changes weekly (with nutri-sea) and have rowaphos running in a TLF reactor.

That looks like Peyssonnelia sp. I'm more interested that red "blade" algae to the right winch looks like Kallymenia limminghii, often found with corralines. Do you know where this rock came from ?

It's from the south pacific or indonesia. I got the rock from Live Aquaria. That particular rock has had all sorts of cool stuff on it.

Thanks for the IDs. The blade algae is pretty interesting.
