All I know is, yes get a bigger tank, and those algae-fied snails are wicked!
First it was the pandoras/nuclear green palys growing up the glass, then the waving hand anthelias, then the Gracilaria hayi, then the enormous dragon's breath, and finally the Caulerpa racemosa var. peltata that is now growing over the invasive palys. Clowns are due for an upgrade if I don't start clearing out some space!... Naturally, my response to "should I get in there and trim some of these macros/softies?" is "No, I'll just get a bigger tank!"
That is ridiculous man, I love it!!You haven't seen them when they get really troll-ified!
That is some sort of turf algae that I cannot get off of their shells. I've scraped their shells and held them upside down in hydrogen peroxide for minutes (making sure it doens't go into their shell or touch their skin), but nope, grows right back. So now I just wait till their troll hair grows out a bit and then scrape it off once in a while.
That is fantastic!My trochus’s grow ulva on their shells. It gets really long, and then I rip it off and throw it away. They’re my little algae scrubbers.
