Kole tang and copperband?

[daniella3d]

Darn. I guess I am not sure now that I will keep the kole then. I really need a tang that will control this algae and if not a kole then it will be something else. That something else will probably be a tang, so not sure my 75 gallons has room for 2 tangs, but I doubt it.

I don't know if a seahare will do. Maybe a foxface would eat the caulerpa?

You will need to keep one side of your tank dirty and it also a good idea to throw a few of those smooth stones use for freshwater in a pile in the corner of your tank. The stones provide film algae for the kole tank and also act as a home for the pods your mandarin needs to survive.
