Two years of battle too!! I must admit I haven't "pruned" it for 6 weeks. I'm going to do a big waterchange, and major pruning tomorrow. Just prepping the saltwater now.

Do you syphon them out making sure that the contents dont escape into the tank? I have a few in my tank but i am very careful with them and dont let them get too big. So far i seem to be winning the battle.

nice tang. I dont have much valonia problem. I find one every once in a while tho. Im seeing what I think is Calurpa?

How do you think one of them tangs would fare with a Longnose butterfly???

How big is your tank? I was really hoping to get a tang in mine ( it's only a 40 gal ) at least for a while since they take so long to grow up, I figured in the future I'd have to give him away......or upgrade!

That right there is some SPECTACULAR bubble algae!! I'm starting to get a lot of it too but I keep putting off dealing with it till I move the rock to the new tank and the urchin from my 27g has a look-see ....hopefully he'll take a liking to it. Nice tang, super cute at that size!

Kole tangs are film algae eaters/detrivores and probably wont touch the valonia, dont mean to burst your bubble.
