What kind of urchin is that? It is really cool looking.

I just got a razor scraper over the weekend to get rid of some tough film algae. It has worked great so far!These are the most successful CUC in my tank

I love how the snail shell has 4 chitons on it lol.I like this thread -- my favorites are conch and urchin but not much of a picture taker so will go with...

I use a Gillette Mach10 for the really tough stubble.

I'd get a bottle trap or something for those. When you let them stay too long, they start messing up your corals and other livestock.These are the most successful CUC in my tank

Do you have high nutrients? Get those down first!Alright guys, CUC for GHA?...Help!

The only high thing is Nitrate, which has been in the 50s since April. I've seen some algae bloom slowly start over the last six weeks, but we were out of town for eight days and came home to an abundance of GHA. The fish, corals, and anemone seem unbothered right now, but we're going out of town again in a few weeks, and I'd like to try to get it somewhat under control before we go.

Get a Mexican turbo snail. They decimate most algae

Yup that'll cause GHA to grow abundantly. Try a sea hare (maybe not the best option if you're leaving soon as they starve rather quickly), trochus or turbos are probably your best option at the moment.

Love this thread, what a great idea.
I've got a month old 90 gal with a pretty solid film of algae currently being tended to by:
6 Nassarius Snails
6 Astrea Snails
24 - (4, 6? at least a few have met their demise) Hermits
Would love to get a fighting conch at some point --- how long does one wait before getting one?
