Hi. So I don't have a bad filiementatious algae problem and in one of my tanks something did take it down. But in my 120 I have a nice rock that keeps having it grow inside of it. The rock has lots of holes. I have Turbo Snails, red and blue dwarf hermits, white striped hermits, Cerith snails and an Emeral crab. Its the type of alage the has the frond like apendages. I do pull it myself but it clogs up my filters if I can't grab it out of the water column after I pull it. Since its growing inside the rock I can't get it all out. Any other cuc might be able to knock it out? In my 90 I had a lot. I pulled a lot but something ate it there before. I thought maybe it was Coral Beauty but not sure.

My tangs won't touch that but my urchin would.

What are your nitrate and phosphate numbers?

Getting those under control will help.
I know Vibrant has gotten a bad rap lately but I had two huge GHA breakouts and it eliminated it both times with no Ill effect.
