Cool cuttle! What are the red areas to the right in pic 1 ?

 

[rc]

the red things are mushrooms, they grow like weeds in my reef tank so instead of throwing them away i figured i would see how they do under low light

Very nice...I wasn't sure if they were some sort of elkhorn or what! I have only had luck with the green and brown varieties...way to go!
