Strange moss growing out of my tank.

[MountainMan]

On the lip of my bio-wheel I have a growth of moss. I am attaching a pic. Any ideas of what this is? I have a moss ball in the tank, but that is a kind of algae. This growth feels like river moss. The tank is otherwise free of any major algae growths.

that looks like green thread/hair algae

That is what I thought at first but it feels more firm and interwoven than any hair algae I've ever had. I wonder if I scrape it if it will propagate on some of my wood fully submersed.

So I am a dork. I made a video because this "growth" has got my curiosity.
it is a bit bigger today and getting thicker. It feels like a dense 1/3 of an inch in the middle.


I also took a better High-Res Photo too. Anyone else have an idea?

Did you ever see Steven King's Creepshow? Specifically the Short story "Weeds?" LOL

That looks about right.

So, now that I've touched it I should be fully infected in a few days. Green beard pics to follow. :P
