Hinecken Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I've gotten pretty friendly with one of the fish store owners in the area. every time I am there and he gets a small frag that isn't doing real well, or a table acro that comes in damaged, he offers me the damaged piece and wishes me luck. I've since rescued a beautiful montipora that is now orange/pink and growing, and what is turning into a very nice acropora frag. Unfortunately the flesh that is now living and getting darker every day is sharing a branch with copius amounts of algae on it. If I toothbrush off the algae, I'm bound to scrape the flesh also. What can I do to remove the algae and allow the flesh to grow back over the skeleton? Thanks all. Link to comment

Crakeur Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 carefully pluck the algae off, as much as possible and hope your cleanup crew gets the rest. I have had the same problem happen a few times. Sometimes I win, sometimes the algae wins. Link to comment

NanoReefer53 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I say leave it unless you can get a small pick or somethin and brush it away. Acropora can defend themselves against algae as long as it's living. Link to comment
