There is however some good news. I think its pretty safe to say that there is no more nutrients feeding the GHA. I say this because any of the places that the urchin has cleaned have remained cleaned for 2 weeks now. The algae does not regrow after Lurchin' Urch has cleaned an area.
i think thats the problem with GHA in that once you have it, its not going to just disappear on its own. Like all other organisms in the tank, each and everyone is competing for something. In the case of GHA, its nutrients and as long as you have something or anything that is producing waste (fish/pods/inverts/bacteria on liverock) it will be able to sustain itself. It may not thrive and spread when the nutrient levels are low but there is always something in the tank that will provide just enough nutrients for it to stay.................... or until you decide to poach them.
