Doing a water change today and noticing my rock losing some of the coraline color and getting some more algae. Do u suggest introducing copepods or adding more cuc? For the cuc I have 3 trochus (lost 2), 5 cerith, 4 dwarf hermits, a cleaner shrimp and emerald crab

I’d highly suggest copepods. They do a lot of important work at a micro level. Also Astrea snails are great for cleaning rock. Could add 4-5 of those

Thank you!!! Def check those both out when I go to my LFS this week! I want to get a good grip on it before we’re away

Nano probs lol. Pods help but more snails always good. Keep at it!

My urchin does a great job with the coral, I did have to bring in a crab for bubble algae and a Blenny for this one spot of red algae.
