Abalone... green hair algae gone

[Alex7845]

So i have a 3 month old tank and was getting quite a bad gha outbreak
Decreased feeding and resisted using nopox or binders
Lfs told me to try the abalone and after a couple days gha is almost gone
Plus it is such a cool animal

My next worry will be how do i feed this monster (any experience ?)

It’ll eat algae on rocks and tank glass. I’ve had one for over a year and don’t know what it eats. Sometimes when it comes to the front of the tank I’ll dip a piece of nori and it will eat that. Usually when the lights are about to go off. I rarely see it during the day but that’s probably due to my fish.

good to know. I have quite a few patches of gha and just keep picking them off. Tried a sea hare and it over ate and died.
