Algae ID
I've noticed a few of my frags have some algae growth on them. Can someone help identify them for me?

The top pic looks a lot like hair algae. Does it pull off of the frags fairly easily? Have you noticed any particular animals eating it?

Hate to hear about it. They had a small bit of algae on them when I got them but I didn't pay much attention to it.

If you don't want the algae cured off the frags, I'd go ahead and throw them out. Sure is an easy fix though... waste of good frags
