Can you tell me what kind of red algae is behind the clown and how do I get rid of it ?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Is it just red fuzz? No apperant structure or leafing?

 

[BMan]

It has a structure. I see the clown picking at it now and then. I think he eats it.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

It's kinda similar to what I have , mine is really just fuzz though.

What kind of snails and clean up crew do you have in there?

Let's get some more eyes.

I think @twilliard knows algae. Maybe he can help.

Red hair algea.

Plenty of snails and crabs. Nothing eats it.

Pull out the rock and spray the algae with hydrogen peroxide.

What I'm working on is diversity. Everything has a niche and numbers count when the mouth is a mm.
So in general with any Dino diatom and alge manual removal is first to give a head start to the CUC.
I have six types of common snails and somthing is eating some of it. My plan is to boost the number of what I have and also get some uncommon snails.
Sadly my coweries and a couple others didn't make it through shipping.

And yea tell me about it. Made it past qt probably because the nutints are so low in it. Mine came with some Calurpa a long time ago I Belive.

I never saw it in the qt or display until I won the bryopsis battle.

I'm going to try them out. Hopefully they eat it.

I've heard that Mexican turbo snails love that and will munch on it.

I went to two stores today btw. Both out.
I live a couple hundred miles from where they come from in the sea of Cortez.

:mad:

 

[BMan]

Seems to be eating it.

 

[ReefMaster101]

yup they love it!

It didn't stay there very long. It moved on to explore the rest of the aquarium. Hopefully the 4 I bought for my 29 gallon tank will get in under control.
