Not sure why it's gone so off topic?

Because we care. its a much more serious thing to us than the little bit of algae in your tank.

Didn't get it from the LFS, it was passed on from someone who had to close his tank. It will be going to the LFS soon.

Putting a tang in a tiny 13g tank is probably why you have an algae problem and not off topic.

Yeah I mean, it's only been in there what 4 months. So it's completely off topic. Seen bigger fish in smaller tanks. Have a great day

Ok. Next time I help a friend I'll suggest euthanasia instead. Got it

I imagine an urchin would soon mow that down. That said, if you move one of those trees to shade that bulge in the rock, that’ll slow/stop it.

Thanks, the Urchin is great that I have, I need some more snails which I can get next weekend. Will see if the floating Xenia can cover some of it. Thanks for the advice

You’ll probably find as the algae (and any attached cyanobacteria) struggle in lower light, they will become more palatable for Mr Spikey. Double whammy. Happy reefin

If it's a tiny baby it will be ok for a few weeks . The tang is like having 10 small fish . You don't have the water volume to support it .what sort of filtration do you have ??
