Help needed apply within(seahorses/hair algae)
Just wondering, I have hair algae in my seahorse tank and wanting to know if I can add a rainford gobie and or lettuce nudibranch to help get rid of it. I have both coming tommorrow. Will the gobie bug the seahorses?
 Thanks with any advice, Leah

Hey Leah,
we have a orange diamond goby in our tank with our seahorses and he does not bother them. The only problem that we've seen with him is at feeding time. They have a trough,and if we only put mysis in the trough, he will come eat it all before they get to it. We just make sure to give him some mysis in another area of the tank. As long as he's fed, he stays very peaceful. Good luck!

Lawnmower blennies are bad with seahorses. They will keep sucking on the ponies. I didn't really believe this until it happened to me years ago in my hex seahorse tank. The LMB just kept on sucking on the poor ponies like they were popsicles.

Mexican turbos or a sea hare might be good options for the hair algae and wont compete for food.. Gobies dont eat algae, so a rainfords wouldnt work....and most blennies get aggressive.

Reef junkie I hope you realize I was joking hope I didn't sound serious. Well the rainford
gobie did not arrive alive so I only have the lettuce nudibranch to help......so I guess I will see what happens. Think I will cut down on the vitamins as well.
