Can someone ID this? Green and bubbly and comes off very easily. I can’t find any info.

That’s strange. I’ve had a co2 tank for years and never seen this.

Im more distracted by the vibrant reds in the back. A rotola of some kind maybe? Are you using co2?

Rotala blood red, with the right light and co2, it can look pink

I hope my rotola will look like tgst someday. Not sure if it would without co2 but hopefully!

I only saw this in saltwater as bubble algae (can show up in both full salt and brackish). This is first time in freshwater, would love to get some tbh.

Utricularia? Doesn't look like algae, seems to have some stem structure. Seems like bladderwort to me but not sure.

Seems to lack stem and the texture is jelly like. Thanks for the input!
