Below is what's left of my red shelf monti. I dropped a crab pellet on it a few months ago and didn't realize for a few days. It started dieing off where the pellet was, then got GHA on the edges. I thought the other half would be fine, but it spread. Today I was going to cut off that part on the left that still looked reddish, but when I took it out it was clear it was all gone.
It was a $10, so I wasn't too worried about it, but now I have half a dozen montis in QT and I want to make sure I don't make the same mistakes.
Does the crab pellet seem like a good hypothesis for why it got algae? Other than not doing that again, more flow, and keeping params stable, any tricks for keeping algae off of montis?
