Looking for first-hand experience please.
I have some algae which appears to be Cladophora. Maybe prolifera, maybe herpestrica, maybe a lookalike.
Anyone who knows this alga knows that it is terribly difficult to physically remove. It's held on with Gorilla Glue I'm sure. It also loves SPS-style tanks with high light and lots of flow. Go figure. It's not at plague, but it's been in the tank for 2 years, and slowly spreads even though I trim it with a scissors during waterchanges. At first I thought it was an interesting aspect to the tank - it's getting annoying now. ;Smuggrin
These animals are in the tank and have not touched it: Diadema urchin, Blue Tuxedo Urchin, Trochus snails, Mexican Turbo snails, Cerith snails, Ring Cowries, Fighting Conchs, Orange Lipped Conchs, Strawberry Top Hat Snail, Scarlet Hermits.
Tried these too: Tomini Tang, Naso Tang.
Next plan is Foxface Lo and Red Collar Snails (they eat brown cyano, so maybe there will be luck!)
Any other ideas?
