Algae in sand bed and on dry rock

[logangeraghty]

Hey everyone! So I’m new to the reef community and have cycled my tank prior to adding livestock. I currently have 4 blue leg hermits, 1 turbo snail, 2 clowns, a few zoas, green star polyp, leather, and goniopora. I’ve had some green algae build up on the dry rock and sand bed and I’m looking for some solutions to getting it looking clean and white again. Also any tips for coral one algae growth would be appreciated!

Looks like a good tank start to me. Wouldn't worry about it if your parameters are in line. What do you have for a clean up crew? Might need to get some snails. Astrea snails like to clean rock.

Just have the Turbo snail, and 4 hermits... Waiting on 2 banded trochus. What else would you suggest?

depends on the size of the tank, but a few more hermits, 1-2 astrea, 1-2 nerite, 1-2 nassirus

Nass are down in the sand, come up when food's in the tank.
Astrea are lawnmowers and mine usually are on the rock unless there is more food somewhere else
Nerites typically stick to the glass.

All but the Astrea can right themself if they flip too, so if that is important skip the Astrea.
