Any idea on how to get rid of it?Maybe some sort of cladophora. . .
I am not sure as I have never had this particular algae before. Though my go to strategy for algae is manually remove what you can, introduce CUC that will hopefully eat it (emerald crabs and pitho crabs), and keep water clean.Any idea on how to get rid of it?
I tried chemicals at first and now have turned to Berghia. They are slowly reducing it but it has spread to the back wall and sand bed. Not sure if I should do a total tear down at this point.I am not sure as I have never had this particular algae before.

all that said I think the aptasia is the bigger issue. You mentioned being about ready to give up on the aptasia? What have you tried so far?
I was going to suggest Berghia, shame that hasn't worked for you are is not working fast enough. I wonder if other aptasia eating critters like peppermint shrimp and aptasia eating files can cohabitate with the berghia?I tried chemicals at first and now have turned to Berghia.

I’m currently battling a Aptasia outbreak and noticed this green algae. Anyone knows what it is? I’m still learning and have about given up am dealing with this Aptasia.
I see a forest of aptasia and the algae appears to be Chlorophyte or turtleweed algae. The best answer to the aptasia will be a Kleini Butterfly fish which will eat aptasia like candy, then eat all dry and frozen food offered, colorful, friendly and stays small. I will note that a couple of persons who got the blue had their kleini nip zoa. if so- easy sell, or place in sump as aptasia have likely made it down there alreadyI’m currently battling a Aptasia outbreak and noticed this green algae.
