Bristly Type algae question

Sun Devil · 01/26/2007, 03:27 PM

I have this VERY bristly type algae that seems to crop up in my coralline. It resembles the shaving brush type algae in feel (coarsness), but grows different. It seems to sprout out of very tiny tubule type projections on my LR. Once established, it is near impossible to remove. I have looked online, but not able to pinpoint it. Pulling it off LR is impossible to do without tumbling down the aquascaping. I even have a poor astrea that has branches growing from his shell. All levels in tank are fine. It is becoming quite an eye sore. Any idea on what it may be or how to control it. Sorry no pictures
