Hi all,firstly hope everyone is doing good and all ok ^_^
So i got 3 scarlet red hermits last saturday.
And noticed few fury things on 2 the crabs.i just thought algae growing on the shells and as no noticeable algae growing in my newky set up tank ( 2 months now)
.i decided not to quarantine my inverts as feeding them could be issue as no rocks with algae on to put in qt etc.
They eating something off the rocks as crawling around and pulling stuff off.what I've identified i have got is calothrix by looks of it ( kind of cyano bacteria) and noticed big chunk of this in a low flow area in a cave on one my rock structures so they either ate it or pulled it off and blew off somewhere else in tank etc.
I have an idea what it is but want see your guys opinions so thanks in advance ^_^
