Hi all,
I have a fangblenny and a chromis in a 13 g quarantine tank, they have 2 weeks to go before heading for the DT. What I thought was a lovely, big snacky patch of hair algae for future fish is apparently actually a Bryopsis (based on its branching habit and my microscope observation of lack of segments). The blenny is nice and fat, the chromis still tiny and a bit thin but both eating great and very active. I don't want to stress them.

My question is, should i treat the QT now? Wait until I move the fish? Will moving the fish likely introduce this pest into my DT with the little bit of water that goes in? What would you do?
 
Just run the light at the lowest setting. Most people I know don't even have a light on their fish qt outside of ambient room light or it's so weak that algae won't grow very well. Are you running any meds in the QT?
