I have a sea urchin and 2 snailsyou can scrub them with a soft bristle toothbrush. Maybe also increase flow in the area to prevent growth in the first place. cleanup crew will also help, I regularly see my ceriths cleaning algae from my corals.
Unless your tank is 2 gallons 2 snails probably isn't gonna cut it.I have a sea urchin and 2 snails
Thanks for the tip I will get more of them in the futureUnless your tank is 2 gallons 2 snails probably isn't gonna cut it.
Thanks I will definitely try thatSoft bristle toothbrush, nice and easy then turkey blaster is what I would do. Wouldn't even think of toxins with those and such a small amount. Plus it's mitigated by being underwater. Wash hands real good after and you're all set. Imo, ofc.
