Pink Stuff Growing- Maybe Cyano?

happyclam · 06/15/2008, 10:45 AM

I found some pinkish slimey stuff on my cheato algae in my recently set up fuge (about a week old). Is that cyno algae? Any ideas on how to get rid of it, or will it just eventually go away as the system matures? (live rock is not in the main tank yet) Would a water change help?

sounds like it could be sponges, which its not unusuall for them to attach and live on the cheato. hey, ive had tunicates growing from mine, until i removed them.
