Who eat's Green Hair Algae??

[Glennrf38]

My hair algae that I am fighting with right now doesn't grow very long. Maybe 1/2 inch.... I am beginning to think it might not be hair algae. Any ideas? I could send a picture.

Thanks

Glenn

I use boiling water with a syringe,I heard about it and it works great,boil some water suck it up with a syringe,and squirt it at the base of the hair alage,in a day it will be gone,I had a few rocks that I took out,and poured boiling water over the alage,and it hasn't came back,I found that after the boiling water treament my bicolour angle eats the dying hair alage,it works great for me,try it it can't hurt.

Tuxedo urchins work well for me at eating bryopsis. The sides of my refugium have become an algae turf scrubber so I have 3 tuxedos in there to keep it clean so that I dont have to. I'm going to try a turbo snail or two this week to see if they will touch the patches growing in my display tank.

My foxface and my naso tang like to eat it.

Trevor, what type of Urchin is that that you gave me?? The long spine. He loves the coraline, but not the hair algae?
