![]() What eats Lobophora, Dictyota, Padina, Sargassum, and Halimenia? Urchins? These algaes are a pain in the butt. If I can't find something to eat them I'm gonna rip my tank apart and scrub all the rocks.

![]() Had Lobopharo so tried both the Black Long Spined and Tuxedo urchins and neither touched it. Dealt with it by tweezers and a dental pick.
Halimenia? See referances for Halymenia (red) and Halimeda (green). For Halimeda, nothing I have touched it either (Purple and Regal Tangs, Foxface or the urchins) but not really a problem algae and easily controlled by manually pruning. Found pinching with my finger nails between segments stopped the weeping. |

![]() Sunday chore - remove rocks. So excited!! NOT!! lol
I'm going to take most of my rocks out and shove them into a dark bucket of saltwater for a few weeks. Feed some amino acids, and the odd mysis feeding, and hope for the best. My corals and fish are gonna be ****ed at me. ![]() |
