Wow that stuff IS taking over. Best of luck getting rid of it... maybe it will go away after a while, like a phase of some type (like the HA phase that a lot of people seem to go through)?

Just read through the thread... Real nice tank! As far as your algae it looks like dictyota algae or nitophyllum. Good looking stuff in my opinion and i think its also a sign that things are doing well. Try a small diadema/longspine urchin.

You know, that's funny I was just thinking that it sure looks like Dictoyota, but it's totally the wrong color. A Diadema might do the trick, but they grow REALLY fast! Like really, really fast.

Take a hunt through here maybe. I already have, and can't come up with anything, but you'd be better at recognising it since you look at it everyday. http://saltcorner.com/sections/guest.../algaepage.htm

Thanks for the info...I'll look into those type of algae.

It may be good, but it's taking over and has started to force some of my zoas to recede and some of my SPS to RTN.

Added a new addition to the tank today. Great find considering the availability of stuff around here.

Any suggestions on what makes these guys happy in our tanks?

No idea what makes them happy, but I have a pair in my 75 and I've seen them trying to spawn... So I figure they are happy.. haha
