Coralline algae, means your tank is nice and stable. I take it off with a razor.

Oh no, it's not an invasive algae until you have it growing well. Only way to stop it is to have your parameters fluctuate so much your corals all die. It isn't a bad sign like GHA and I would leave it as long as it doesn't cover the front glass.

Long spine urchin can help control it

But it's a 6 gallon nano you don't think it's to small of a tank

Anything else I can use

Really why lol

I am with you on this. I don't mind it so much on the rocks but I will go out of my way to keep it off my glass.

Just use a metal scrapper and scrap it off the glass where it don’t want it eventually you can almost control where it grows. I would only scrape the three front sides and leave it on the back until recently I scrapped it all for a fresh start and now it’s covering all my rocks nicely

I have no problem with it going on my glass because it hasn't reach there but I'm not liking how it's on my back wall I'm just being picky

 

[EriksOasis]

I liked it on the back wall but now prefer to have the back clean black puts more focus on the corals.

 

[Bunnee911]

I have white asterinas that eat it.
