not sure a tuxedo would work here - 1) i'm not sure if anything really eats bryopsis as a main food so if you have other types of algae, or coraline in case of a tuxedo, then they will not really touch the bryopsis. I have a tux too and never seen it a dent on my bryopsis population. 2) its on the sandbed. Tux rarely stay in the sand.Yeah I got it checked out and it’s bryopsis, might be getting a tuxedo to hopefully eat it
Oh ok, I have heard both that it eats bryopsis and some have said that it doesn’t touch it, I’ll take the chance with a tuxedo, and if it doesn’t I already kinda wanted one anyways so it’s still a win.not sure a tuxedo would work here - 1) i'm not sure if anything really eats bryopsis as a main food so if you have other types of algae, or coraline in case of a tuxedo, then they will not really touch the bryopsis.

so far the only thing that worked for me with bryopsis is H2O2 dip or Vibrant.

Sick man, I have a fire shrimp I have heard mixed things about tuxedos eating it do you think that would happen?Gl!
Yeah tuxedos are awesome! I have a blue one that grew from the size of a quarter to 2 inches now. It does a great job cleaning other types of algae. It will eat a lot of coroline so keep that in mind. Also its always funny seeing it carrying rocks, snails, frags around. Just make sure u glue down anything you don't want it to pick up.
Shouldn't be a problem. Tho tuxedo urchins are technically omnivores (i think???) I don't think its fast enough to actually catch a shrimp? Esp if its happily munching on algae and coraline. Mine has been a model citizen.Sick man, I have a fire shrimp I have heard mixed things about tuxedos eating it do you think that would happen?
Sweet, how’d u remove them, with a net to get sand or a vacuum type thing?If it is just that spot on the sandbed, you could also just suck it out and see if it comes back. I had patches of bryopsis in my tank and by manually removing them often over the course of a few weeks they just died off and went away before they became a serious problem
How well did the hermits do at eating the bryopsis, and will they eat other snails, cause I have 2 nassarius.and 3 margarita I thinkTuxedo's are awesome, and I actually had some dwarf blue leg hermits eat some bryopsis. I always try to make sure the urchin is fed once in a while with nori though.
For me it was on a rock so I just pinched it and pulled it off. However, I have sucked sand out with my regular hose during a water change. If you have one of the wider tips for the pipe just take it off since they reduce the suction force and just suck out the top .25-.5 inch of sandSweet, how’d u remove them, with a net to get sand or a vacuum type thing?
