Quick Question about Macro-Algae

[ferret]

That's a good idea to keep the new macroalgae quarantined particurlarly those are attached to the live rocks. I've kept many kinds of algae in both the DT and sump ( over 25 types ) and it looks perfectly natural. The drawback is some of the fishes like the rabbit, tang & large angel can not be kept in the DT for eating up the algae in mins particularly the rabbit fish and another disadvantage is keeping various types of marcoalgae will also attract those unwanted species.

Ideally should quarantine everything wet that comes into your system, fish, corals, macro, etc but doubt many of us actually do.

alright, thanks guys!
I think I'll put them in QT for a while just in case then

Do a google search on "Caulerpa going sexual" before you decide on what kind of macroalgae you want. Some species can be very invasive and hard to get out from your rocks.

QTing is a good idea (I've see tiny baby aiptasia come in on macroalgae)
