Re: DLIST ASCLME: Algae identification request - Madagascar
Thanks for looking at it, John.
Yes agree it's not poss. to make any reliable ID from a general photo, but your guess may help him look in the right direction.
Apparently it's been proliferating rapidly over some local coral reefs, so am also guessing the expansion might be connected to increased rainfall events and associated nutrient increases from land-runoff.
Cheers
Rob
