Algae you like best

[reeftask]

I have one algae that I like most and it wont spread like others. It will grow into a ball shape getting bigger and bigger. The growth is slow too so I have never trim it since 2-3 yrs. So far I have 3 big balls of this algae and few small balls that is too slow growing.

Anyone else has this algae?

I got it from a LFS that had closed up. They ordered from Hawaii shipment four years ago. At that time, I saw only 3 small lump size about 30cm and after persuaded by the LFS, I grabbed all. One of the factors I buy all because it was so cute and many people kept looking at it.

Now they had grown into 80-90 cm balls.

Previously, seen my tangs grazing on them so put all of them into my second tank. After had cleared all my tangs, I put them back into the main tank. Noticed that they dont need much light but likes more on medium current flow. I placed them at the corner where have good flow but less light for many months now. Seems still OK. One of the lump's top portion is slightly above the water surface and it didnt turn white, very hardy.
