Lobophora variegata​

(J.V.Lamouroux) Womersley ex E.C.Oliveira, 1977​

Brown Wafer Algae​

Likely Reef Tank Suitable
Likely Fish-Only Tank Suitable
Range: Caribbean and Tropical and Sub-Tropical Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

Natural Environment: Inhabits various nutrient rich areas, including backwater areas, reef flats, bays, boat channels and wall faces on deep drop-offs.

Aquarium Suitability: Its somewhat large yet thin fan-shaped overlapping blades are sometimes attached to coral imports from some fairly nutrient rich areas, and if so, this fleshy alga might be best removed, as it can disintegrate in well-maintained aquariums. Yet, quite nice looking while its in a healthy condition.

Potential Control Species: Snails: Astraea tectum

Taxonomy:

• 
  Kingdom: Chromista
  Class: Phaeophyceae
  Order: Dictyotales
  Family: Dictyotaceae
  Genus: Lobophora

Oh, that's disappointing. You could have lied to me and said something like marshmallow topped chocolate chunk brownies. I do enjoy eating vicariously.

Thanks everyone! It doesn't seem overly prolific so I won't overreact. I can't imagine my nutrients are very high, but I haven't tested any parameters in the 6 months the pond has been running. Guess I need to start. Probaly do it's 1st water change and try to suck some out...
