what type of algae is this? iv never seen it before, it feels like squashy Jello, like what those Jello squeeze balls r made of.

Does it grow in smallish bubbles?

Its not bubble or hair algea and not that Botryocladia skottsbergii, its just weird

[Corvette Reefer]

any other ideas peoples???

Its cyno- not algea, a bacteria.

The spongy jellow feeling is the air pockets inside of it. Odd growth pattern on that bit, huh?

+1 on Cyanobacteria. I've had it in my tanks several times before, and it always seems to come back a little different than before.
