CONSTANTNE Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) No matter how much I pull out it keeps coming back. Any suggestions? Would any fish or invert eat it? Edited March 11, 2009 by CONSTANTNE Quote Link to comment
dshnarw Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 No matter how much I pull out it keeps coming back. Any suggestions? Would any fish or invert eat it? i love neomeris stuff comes back even after sitting in a sealed bucket of SW with no circulation for months at a time. best to pull it out, and outcompete it with something like caulerpa in the fuge.

CONSTANTNE Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 No its the devil! On my sand, glass, rocks, frags, and even hermit crabs I was actually thinking if having it in a sealed bucket would make it die off. Guess I was wrong. Quote Link to comment
dshnarw Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 lol, i got one stalk of it in one tank, and it's followed me everywhere since. i got rid of hair algae and aiptasia in a bucket LONG before the neomeris even looked unhappy. and then, even when it looks gone, it pops back up. but i think its cute *shrugs* especially when my decorator crab grabs some.

Mr. Fosi Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Mine comes and goes. Quote Link to comment
divecj5 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 It may be different for you but I ended up taking down my BC29, which had been running for 19 months, because of this cr*p. Between it and vermitids, I'm not sure which is worse. For me, it seemed like the more I pulled out, the more it came back and spread. You can check out my old thread to see the jungle I had going. Best to try and have something to outcompete it. Quote Link to comment
tinctorus Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I cant believe it growns so fast i have 2 measley pieces in my tank and like the way it looks its fucnny that it just popped up after the tank had been up over a year. maybe i only like it because it didnt take my tank over like my got run over with grape algae Quote Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 How much do you want for it shipped to me? seriously. Quote Link to comment

I never saw it at all for at least a year. Then I saw a little patch, thought it was cool and then the invasion began How much do you want for it shipped to me? seriously. Wish I would have known...I could have shipped you all of my rock with plenty on it. Instead it drying on the porch. Quote Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well if anyone wants to rid themselves of this please pm me. Quote Link to comment
CONSTANTNE Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 So I guess there isnt a fish or invert that will munch on this stuff? Eklikewhoa - I dont know if I would want to give you this curse. Seriously, if you want some send me a pm (I HAVE PLENTY) Quote Link to comment

Seriously, if you want some send me a pm (I HAVE PLENTY) I dont think anything will eat it because from my understanding it is a calcium based algae like halimeda and therefore not much will eat it especially anything suitable in size for a nano Quote Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) the best way to get rid of it is to post you have it and don't want it anymore. That stuff is awesome! Eklikewhoa isn't joking, hah I figured I would see you here EK. I think a nice clump will look awesome in the wave tank. By the way the new pics are nice too, I like how you have keep changing the aquascape up. Macro tanks kind of do it themselves a bit, is it all you or are you seeing cycles in which algae dominates? Sorry to hijack, -yeah nothing will reef and nano safe will eat it really. (No nano? Tangs will pick at it for digestion purposes and it is apparently good to have around. Parrotfish will get it out quick, corals too though...) If you can let your calcium dip it really sends them into decline it seems. Risky move though, it happened to me b/c of my own negligence.

CONSTANTNE Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks for the information. I have been pulling out what I could but it really is no help. At the moment I have given up on trying to totally get rid of it. Quote Link to comment
