I have look through all kinds of nuisance algae posts and articles and have never seen either of these. The hedge type has been in tank a good while and is getting everywhere and to dense for snails to take care of.
I also have this very stringy wire type algae that is now not only on the hammers, torches and scolys they came in on but starting to spread. At one point it was all over my zoas on my frag rack so I kept putting my ravenous conch on top of the frag rack( he cant climb well) and he has done a pretty good job but how do I keep it from coming back?
I have been hand plucking it as well as treating it with peroxide and its almost gone but it still continues to grow back since I cant get it from the root! . How do you get it from the root so it dosnt grow back? I need to completely kill it!
Someone please tell me what to do! I don t have much of a clean up crew just one astrea and the conch and kind of scared to add any hermits now that I have a lot of acclimating zoas on sand bed. Plus I have a ton of baby snails everywhere so thats one reason I dont like snails and they never seemed to help much except my conch and he stays on sand bed!
1st pic is sea algae that came on frags 2nd is when it got crazy on frag rack other two are of the dense brush hedge type algae last pic is day after my conch was placed on rack. Its even better now but still keep plucking hairs that keep coming back! I want to get rid of it germanely! I also have bubble algae and once I move my zoas to frag rack I will get an Emerald crab. Unless someone knows of a better way!
Also if anyone knows how to get rid of a ton of green plays that has taken over my rock Please let me know!
Thanks in advance!
