hi all - Believe I have hair algae in my tank (20 gal cube, 9 months old) and It’s growing in between my zoa heads. There’s also a good amount on the back wall. I read that court jester gobies or emerald crabs are the bast way to deal with it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Looks more like bryopsis. Does it look like a fern? If so, definitely bryopsis. It doesn’t look like the tufts of hair algae we normally see.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
