Hi everyone,

Just found these new algae in my tank on the rock, sand and snail shell. I noticed this last week and siphoned the ones on the sand during a water change.
I have lights 9 hours a day with 5 ours peak at 30% (Noopsyche K7 mini).
I've attached photos but if you need clearer pics, do let me know and I'll try to take better photo

The snail part is easy. Just catch him and cover his hole with your finger and drop so peroxide on it. Let it sit for a few minutes and back in the tank.

That's what I'll be doing! The patch on the rock also is high enough that I can get water out to expose it. Ill then drop peroxide on the patch. The sand bit, I'm going to siphon out the sand, if that doesn't work, my wife will have to fake a yeast infection and get some fluconazole .
