My big balls

Huh? Gals "compensate" just as much if not more than men.
Both groups want the same thing, big algae balls albiet in different places...in the tank. The issue of algal insecurity works both ways.
But there are a number of algae balls, some red(Saltwater), some green.
Penicillus looks like a ball on a stalk. Very interesting and relatively easy to grow algae. There are 2-3 in the genus that I have right now growing quite well in a marine tank.

What is your source for the SW balls? Are they compatible with a reef setup (regal tang, bicolor angel, blue damsel, engineer goby, scooter blenny, sally light foot crabs, blood shrimp, hermits, snails) or a FOWLR (lionfish, trigger, eel, mandarin goby)? Or do they prefer less mobile inverts for company?
Many marine fish love to eat macro algae, but some are left alone.
Blennies, gobies, shrimps, etc all seem fine or most predators.
Cladophora prolifera is a green marine ball former.
A number will grow all over a round rock or even crabs. Seeing a small crab covered with Neomeris is rather attractive.
Lime green algae "fingers"
Valonia are tough marble sized single cells-some of the largest cells actually, around 1.5 to almost 2 inches around. Some get up 20cm~ about 8inch ball you'd mistake for a semi clear plastic ball.
Dictyosphaeria is another tough pin cushion type of plant.

Wow, I've had a solo ball in my tank for months. I wonder if the male fish cringe when they see this?
(I only have 5 of em)
Well, if they can have a thread about dumb blonds (which I think is offending to women and some men with light colored hair), then there is nothing wrong with a thread on moss balls!
