Hey u/LawnSolutionsAu . Hoping this running plant can be identified. Going nuts through my kikuyu lawn at the moment. From my research it could potentailly be bermuda grass? Mornington Peninsula, Vic

Yes likely a native couch (bermuda) there with what looks like some couch mite damage. Unfortunately there wont be any selective treatments for removing it from kikuyu. Hand removal or spot treating with a non-selective weed wand are your best options. Kikuyu is a very agressive grower when healthy so if you can get it thriving and spreading laterally, in most situations it outcompetes couch grass.
