I have a tang, but cares less about eating it. I have to get a turkey baster and blow it away from the coral every 4 to 5 days, any idea why this algae is growing so fast?
@Texas Rick are you trolling or would you like some genuine advice sir?!?... hahaha

Does it form what looks like air bubbles when it grows?

Ok, good. Most likely not Dino’s then. I’ve had success with emerald crabs and peppermint shrimp. I guess the other side to look at is how much nutrients you have in the water.
I’m also trying the microbacter stuff but still have algae growing.

Ever since i started to use the trace colors, reef energy, coral nectar and absolute aminos, I've noticed my hammer colors very vibrant. There was a point that i noticed that the tentacles were turning clear color. or losing there green color and the tips were fading away. But the Hairy stuff has been there before dosing
