Hey everyone, im looking for some advice on treating algae growing ON my sps colonies. How can I treat it, how dangerous is it? How can I avoid it in the future.
I've got three colonies it's really affecting. Two that had some kind of nuisance growth when I got them, one that didn't.
This miyagi tort frag I picked up from my lfs a few days ago that had what looks like green ulva growing on a portion of the base. I did my normal dip then gently peeled off what algae I could, but it now seems to be creeping up one of the branches, killing it.
This is a twofer here the left is a frag of some kind of Stylo from a friend of mine that's had some red algae growing on the top, and the right is a mdigi Monti that recently had that little branch die from some algae and looks like it's spreading.
I wish I could put some algae grazers into the tank but I don't have the volume of space for them. Is there a best practice for handling this? Thanks
