What's this long, grass-like dark brown algae and how do I kill it? It's taking over everything, including living on my corals. Let's don't worry about the Aptasia. My Berghi are eating the babies that this huge guy in the background releases--I'll deal with him after I clean up this algae.

Looks like GHA. Get your hands wet with daily removal so your cleaner crew can catch up.

What kind of cleaner crew? I have myriad snails and a few hermit crabs. Haven't seen my emerald crab in ages,

Tuxedo urchins and turbos. Cut lights to 6 hours, blue and uv only now whites. Weekly water changes with lots of manual removal. Diverse cleaner crew. Raise magnesium to 1500 it helps weaken GHA.
