It doesnt blow off i have to pull it off with tweezers and ill take another pic when i get home tonight. Location is all over the tank.Can you get some clearer pics? Maybe not so zoomed in?
And location of this stuff?
Does it blow off easily?
What color is it?
Tank is 4months oldByropisis? Hair algae?
Hold old is the tank?
Tank is 4 mos old i have 4 blue leg hermits 2 nass snails 1 trochus snail and a purple pincusion urchin. What donyou think i should add a few more crabs??It is calothrix. Its a slimy yet hairy/fuzzy nastiness that loosely attaches to your rock work. Air bubbles are usually trapped while escaping the algae. Calothrix is a type of algae that looks very similar to Dinos. To clean up, remove the rock and scrub, and then fine tune with a toothbrush. Let cleaner crews get the rest. It helps to use a net to collect the debris that will occur as a result of the toothbrushing.
Cleaners= Chitons, Nerite snails, cerith, large astrea and about 10 caribbean blue leg hermits
