FluxRX, Pistol Shrimp and Elysia crispata (Sea lettuce)

[Steve's reef]

Hi,
I have 90 litre mixed reef and have to finally admit defeat with hair algae and think it's time to give FluxRX a go.
I have some critters I'm concerned about though, can anyone say if my pistol shrimp, sea lettuce slug (Elysia crispata), peppermint shrimps and Tuxedo Urchin as well as various snails be OK if I dose FluxRX?

Thanks for your help.

A little fuzzy but I think I remember that those elysia feed on bryopsis or closely related algae - the exact types targeted most by fluco. So I would guess their food would be dramatically cut down.
(maybe someone else can confirm or correct this)

@taricha Hi, thanks for your reply.
They do and they do feed on other algae too but unfortunately my hair algae is too far out of control for the Elysia or anything else to make an impression on.
I just want to be sure it and all my other inverts etc. are all going to OK if I use FluxRX.

This is exactly correct. If they do not have hair algae or bryopsis to feed on, they will not last long without some type of supplemental feeding.

I'm on week 5 of flux, my pistol is fine.
