All my Macro Algae has VANISHED

[tbaum101]

I always kept it between the rocks and glass in the back and sides. Sometimes a chunknwould float up and I'd stuff it between the rocks so it was visible near coral. I hadn't really noticed but tonight I was looking and it is all gone. Like gone gone. No remnants of it anywhere. I have gotten a lawnmower blenny and some urchins lately but that can't be it...Can it? No tangs. I do have a new Lawnmower Blenny...But theres no way....Is there? I feed heavily so plenty of nutrients. Lighting has been fine for it until now. I'm really baffled and a little concerned. Anyone ever hear of this??

I had dragon breath in my nano display for a few months. One day the snails realized it tasted good. They ate half of it down to the stalks overnight. The next day it was completely gone. I only had 4 snails at the time and they ate all of it in 1.5 days

Ok...well, I recently got a bunch of large snails because small ones it seems are very yummy to my Valentini Puffer....And they have been hanging out near what used to be a large deposit of it. Well...you may have helped lower my blood pressure about 20 points. Was really.starting to freak. I was looking for critters in the sand last night and it hit me...there's no Oigo or Dragons breath anymore!!!

Your’s was dragons breath also? They definitely will munch that down until nothing remains. My snails were larger Mexican turbos if it matters but I suspect most snails will eat it once they try it and realize it’s algae

Yup..Red Oigo and Red Dragon's Breath. All gone. Had some fist sized hunks...Crazy. I really started freaking half expecting my tank to crash....of course after I've pretty much filled it out woth coral.
