Green Leafy Algae

[jgaepi]

I have some green leafy algae growing on rocks, frag plugs and my red ogo algae. And I think it might have originated from my red ogo.

What is it, and what will eat it? Thank you.

Looks like Ulva Lactuca. Don't know what will eat it definitively but I would suspect any Tang would munch on it.

+1 on ulva. Bristletooths will not eat it in my experience, I would suspect any other tang likely would.

Tangs love that stuff!

Not sure how to stick a tang into a 7g tank.

My tangs unfortunately won't eat my ulva that is growing crazy in my sump.

Not bristletooth tangs.

Manually remove the algae, pull rock if you can use bone cutters on where it was anchored, and targeted hydrogen peroxide where it was attached. Nip the whole thing in the bud before it spreads.

Find a really small Tang...???
