I’m gettting some fine, stringy brown colored algae only attaching to the GSP. I’ve tried pulling some off, using a toothbrush (which seemed to poss it off and they didn’t open fully for a day) and turkey baste to blow some of it off. I got probably 60% of it… but is there anything else u recommend for removal and prevention?

I’d love to have a strategy for that too.

That stringy brown algae on GSP can be such a pain! I’ve found gentle water changes and tweaking flow around the GSP helps keep it in check. Also sometimes adding a small cleanup crew like snails or amphipods can prevent it from taking over without stressing the coral too much. Keep at it!

Try adding a turbo snail or 2 to clean that gsp bro!
