Gracilaria Hayi question

[vreef]

I'm thinking about putting some Gracilaria Hayi in my display tank. I only have cerith and trochus snails (and a pair of clowns). Will either of these snails eat G. Hayi? I heard that this variety of Graclaria is calcareous, which is suppose to be snail resistant?

I also have chaeto in a refugium (reverse cycle). Will there be any competition/concerns with the chaeto or even my corals? I'm a newbie; so, still learning the balance of it all.

Thanks!

Algae & Coral need the same thing: nutrients & light.

Snails mostly eat film algae. Sometimes biofilms grow on macro surfaces with both snails aand fish grazing.

Gracilaria Hayi is attractive and grows well. Wedge it between rocks or tie it with fishing line or tie wrap.
