whoa cool! if its not doin anything bad, i'd leave it...looks maybe like some sort of macroalgae? i could be wrong tho and it could be a completely common plant like some sort of seawead lol

That looks like bryopsis, I had it in my last tank. It will be a PIA to get rid of it but do it now before it spreads. I did not find anything that would eat it. Manual removal and kalk paste is how I got rid of alot of it. It didn't work all the time but it is woth a shot. Good luck.

is it bad tho? if not, i think that it'd be cool to see what it looks like when it takes over the full rock..might be kinda cool looking....plus it adds color. I'd keep it...if its not bad that is.

nice lookin tank too. oh, and those chromis..they'll get pretty big..no one ever says how big they get, but the lfs has a school of about 20 or 30 that are all about the size of a flame angel..maybe a lil bigger...but i have no clue if they should be taken out of the 36 or not...i think they'll be fine.

its bad!, it will take over corals, glass, rock, powerheads, life,!!.
you need to get rid of it quick!. ive orderd 4 lettuce nudi's and a rabbit fish, and im making a 150g refugium to get rid of mine.

good luck.

rgr rgr over rgr, operation scub and scape.

i took the rock out this time, and cleaned it as best as i could
then i set it back in and desterbed the very little that is left,
i ran some ro water over the rock and let the water go in to the bucket, trying to get the pores off the rock

then i did a big water change (25%)

in a couple of days if it grows back, ill do the same.

if worse comes to worse, ill f ing get rid of the rock

Reefermaddnez · 07/04/2006, 10:22 AM

oh, that botton pylop next to it, went for a ride. and as you can see its openig ageain, i kinda rubed it so it closed up, then i took the rock out picked scrubed, scaped. i was gonna pore something bad that i new would kill it on it, but i chose not to. then i pored ro water over it, scrubed water scrubed water scrubed. till i couldnt get anything else off. the same time my brittle star is hangin off the bottom.

ill post in a couple of days and report what happens

since i messed with it the first time theres a few smaller spots of it. but

if anyone knows of someting i could do to get rid of the green's
id be happy if you share with me some info.

besides that
