I will get some up afterwork. I put her in the fuge, pulled her out the same night after seeing ick. setup a hospital tank for her. slowly lowering the salt.

not eating algae though. they were killing her at the shop. paper thin black spots developed on the face.
 
I have a few of these and yes they were from the phillipines , that's what they call them , they also have a black boarder around them as they get older
I will try and post a picture tonight if they stay still long enough, you are correct they don't seem to look for algae .
 
she is in a hospital tank as of now. I was thinking of keeping her in the 20g fuge. Atleast until she get a bit bigger. I have a purple tang in the mt, doubt there might be problem if i move rocks around.
the fuge has low very low water movement. chaeto caulerpa rocks sand.
