Easy to just yank out. Grab it from the base.

also called fuzzy tip algae. They look cool, I wouldn't yank them. I love it when I get them on my rocks.

This likely took quite awhile to grow:



I would keep them manageable though, looks like t his person has it everywhere.

Yea, they didn't look that bad at all. I was just concerned about them getting out of control. I also read that they're calcium hogs.

you must be doing something right. I think they look great. Easier to add a little calcium as needed then to grow macro like that.
