Strange plant/algae

[26024]

Hi,

Does anyone know what is that? 😳

I’ve just found it in my tank hidden between plants during maintenance.

I’m presuming it might be some kind of algae but i’m not 100% sure.

If that’s a plant i’ll definitely keep it as it looks pretty cool

Looks like a it of Riccia Fluitans to me. Not algae. Grows rapidly and can be difficult to eradicate.

might be Lomariopsis cf. lineata?

Subwassertang or Monosolenium tenerum ?

I think I got rid off it during scooping.

Damn!

😠

But thanks for replies anyway.

I was too careful about not to scoop young shrimplets with were hanging around floating cuts of monte carlo.

No midrib, so its subwassertang / Lomariopsis cf. lineata
Its a great little plant and shrimp love it.

Fingers crossed there is another little piece hidden in the tank somewhere, might make its appearance later on 😄

No midrib, so its subwassertang

Correct spelling is Süsswassertang. The use of the “b” come from the German use of “ß“ , but the correct alternative to that is “ss”.

True enough, I gave up on that a while ago though 🙂 Had to choose between technically correct or using one of the spellings people are more likely to use and search for.
"Subwassertang" is how the americans tend to spell it, bless their sweet hearts, because german is a very exotic language for them 😁
As far as I know, Christel Kasselmann who originally discovered the "plant" doesnt support calling it Süsswassertang or any variation thereof.
Personally I also prefer the latin name, but not as many people know it 🙂
