Wire algae

[Porkchop95]

So I’ve got a small 10gallon system I’m happy with just have an algae issue that no mater how much I pull cut rip and

remove seams to keep coming back and now it’s growing on my gravel ... I’ve tried snail which I’ve lost some for some reason of late and I added a emerald crab and he’s MIA any ideas

any ideas would help .. I thought of doing a black out but I’m afraid it will hurt my anemone and other corals

Have you tried something along the lines of Mexican Turbo snails? This looks like GHA to me which they tend to love.

Following. I have the same in my tank as well.

It looks like GHA but it has much thicker strands and doesn't move in the current like GHA, it's more stiff. I have two big Mexican Turbo snails and they don't touch it. I have been battling high nutrients and they are starting to come down. My plan is to do a round of Flucanozole once the nutrients are where I want them. I've done it before for Bryopsis and it worked like a charm. I've heard that it takes longer for the Flucanozole to work on GHA.

That is unfortunate. I would say the next two best options would either be the Fluconazole or Vibrant by Underwater Creations.
