Helps identification and treatment.

[Vitor Schulter]

Hello everyone,
I would like to ask for help to identify this type of algae and find the most appropriate way to remove it from my reef.


I have already performed the 15-day treatment with fluconazole, but the results I got were minimal, practically none.

I don't know if with these photos it is possible to obtain some useful information.

Looks like lots of hair algae and something known as calothrix
It requires pulling hair algae off my hand in a separate container of tank water and then scrubbing rock with a toothbrush
Thereafter, return rock to tank, reduce white light intensity and add a few snails such
Astrea
Ninja star
Chiton
Nerite
Cerith

I have been scrubbing the rocks with a toothbrush inside the tank and removing the loose pieces with a fish net.
But algae always return the same way.

I have some turbo snails, are they able to eat this kind of algae?
