I have this algae that grows in a relatively high-nutrient Nem & clown tank (no algae-eaters). It only grows on the walls near a light source. Easy to harvest and controllable with fluconazole. Just curious. TYIA

Ulva - sea lettuce. It can be pretty invasive, but with proactive removal it can be managed. Had some in my display for several months but with manual removal and perhaps a little help from my CUC, managed to get it to stay gone, but before then it would grow as easily/quickly as some filamentous hair algae.

Thanks. Looks like I need to add a pencil urchin to the CUC.
