need some algae help

[little_fish]

Does any one have a tang that enjoyed to eat this species of algae. I need a helper to keep this under control.

it looks like this:

And is apparent a Fauchea sp.

I dont think there is a tang big enough to eat reef central.

I am assuming that means you can see the pic, so here is another one

Take a look at this thread, it may help you remove the algae.

I know, I have been following all of your threads and I actually ran an algae scrubber for a long time, however the mess in dealing with one became such a pain I took it down. I have not tried this version, and I dont think I will due to my current tank set up. However, I will continue follow your progress with these!

I really want a yellow tang, i think I might go that route

 

[little_fish]

But its also not the standard hair algae, its this red stuff which reports are very mixed on what will eat it

The picture you linked looks like Gracilaria Hayi to me. I think the person on WWM misidentified it. One of the many display macros I keep. Its never been invasive for me...

 

[little_fish]

Ah, so it is the one we talked about. I just wasnt sure because mine has never gotten very long. And its not really super invasive, but it is slowly growing over stuff and when a piece tears off the thing can spread to a new locations. I am mostly worried about it growing over my zoas.

Kris,
Isn't this a good macro to have? I thought i recognized it from your post of the types you keep and sell.

It has never caused a issue for me in my system and has never attached to anything except for what I glued it to. I had it in my display for well over a year before I moved all my macros to my fuges.

 

[Cake_Boss]

It that the stuff you put in for the auction Kris?
