I had a booming population until four weeks, or so, ago: when I realized I had a phosphate issue and started working to eradicate it. Now I don't see any.

They're awesome CUC members, and being that they multiply so readily in our tanks they're really nice to have.

Yep they are wicked cuc members. I got around 30 of them cruising every where and they will eat all different types of algae. The ones that are on the glass eat green algae, cyano, coraline, anything they can basically.
