Hey guys. I'm having trouble identifying this algae. It's growing in clumps everywhere in the tank. Mostly on rocks or frag plugs. It's really tough to pull off. Looks like small lettuce. I'm thinking turf algae as it doesn't look like anything else. haha
And then what eats it? I only have a 60 gallon tank so can't do any recommended fish as they are too large. Not sure if the algae blenny will eat it but my tank is pretty maxed out with fish.
I have 2 emeralds recently put in there for the bubble algae. Need to get some larger snails for the hair algae. But for turf algae they say pincushion urchin, maybe crab and then fuzzy chiton. Could maybe do a tuxedo urchin as they are smaller but everyone states they pretty much only eat coralline algae. That I would need a pincushion urchin. is that true?
any help would be appreciated!
