WrenchMonkey Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I've got these things all over on of my rocks (setup has been running for about 1.5 months) I started to notice these things around the end of the cycle and since then I've added a few snails and a hermit crab and these things seem to be growing pretty strong. No one is eating them either. Are they a good/bad thing? What would eat them? Should and how should I get rid of it. TIA. Link to comment
aleiodubua Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think I have the same thing you're describing, although mine has grown so much that it completely covers 1 peice of rock, I've pruned to once already, in a 2 month period. I'm also curious to what it is. Link to comment

WrenchMonkey Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 well, it's kinda stressing to not have anyone answer my mystery, but for anyone who cares, I picked up an emerald crab and he started eating that stuff right away. I guess most people have something in their tanks that eats this stuff so perhaps you'll never see it to the extent that I have. cheer! Link to comment
alans22 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 be careful with the emerald crab, dont trust it further than you can throw it, believe it or not i had one that would rip whole tentacles off of a pink tip anenome and eat them...little bastard. (tons of personality though very fun to watch, like a little tank or something.) Link to comment
RoOk_Reef Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 looks like macro algae, I have some on my rocks, it grew all the way up to the top of the water. nothing to worry about, but could grow pretty fast when established. I had a tang once, that loved that stuff, but you can just trim it off Link to comment
