I've got mostly 3 large structures glued/mortared together I am hoping to avoid having to pull out. I am trying to get a positive ID It doesn't really seem ferney or feathery to me, but maybe I am not a good judge of that attribute.
I have been trying to control with manual removal and nutrient control. Unlikely I am getting a accurate PO4 with all this growing within, but I have been testing at about 0.06-0.1. when I change out my rowaphos, and .02-.05 on the low end so it varies quite a bit. I struggled to hold any phosphate the first year I was running, but then eventually between feeding corals more often it had started to creep up.
Manual removal just really is quite difficult at this point, and I cannot tell if I am making much of a dent in its population. I likely am not able to reach all of the roots and it just grows back. It certainly doesnt get as bad as it was at what I hope was the peak.
It is mainly on a bunch of rock work, along with some smaller populations of turf algae, bubble algae, and some like flat soft platey type. What ends up on the sandbed I am not sure if its really growing in the sandbed or if its just like a tumble weed down there. Im pretty sure its the latter, and seems to accumulate in the lower flow areas.
