Pipe organ and hair algae

[gparr]

I have a rather large colony of pipe organ coral that has become infested with hair algae. Most frustrating in that it's the only place in the tank with algae. Anyone have any tricks for getting it out of the pipes?

Peroxide?

Not sure but you might be able to get a small tube cleaning brush like those used to clean filter parts in there. Just use a really small one.

Well, I've got news for you that a pipe organ IS a Soft Coral ;)

"The Pipe Organ Coral is a soft coral, but is often referred to as a hard coral because of its red calcareous skeleton. "

That is news to me, learn somthing new every day dont we, (I). I stand corrected.

Although I must say that is very counter intuitive.
Never had, or even wanted one, so never researched the species.

Yes, this is a hobby where we constantly learn!
