In the wild they look nice as they will have natural predators to keep it trimmed, in home aquaria there won’t be any ways to control it it will just smoother the whole tank, have you looked at different options to try and recreate the same aquascape?

I had a pretty bad cotton cand algae outbreak. It took a while to get it under control again, was not the end of the world, did not hurt anything just looked bad I would take it over other invasive pests for sure.

Is this the stuff you're asking about? I pull a cup out every moth when cleaning my refugium....

Oh man yeah thats the stuff. Looks cool in the fuge but it makes its way up into the display. Fought it for a while in the sand and spots on the rock. Not the hardest to deal withbut it became a past and took time to eradicate.
