Macroalgae love

My LFS got batch of locally aqua-cultured Trochus in. I have never seen them so small, and importantly juvenile shells uncovered by algae etc.

The magenta colour and patterns are insane. 3 more added to the 2 × adults in the tank.

My last post referred to this patch of Caluerpa Racemosa which has grown from about 3 heads to this, in a month.

Then I realised it couldn't be seen in the video I posted. Here we commonly call this sea grapes (not the bubble version).

Hopefully, I can keep it from extending further down into the path of the alveopora but to fill out and grow up and across this live rock. It's one of the things growing in this tank that I like the most.

Update on the tank finally got that hair algae to leave

Cyano treatment underway ! Corals and fish still happy !!

Micro brittle star spawning capture. This guy was big! He was standing over and inch high. He's the biggest one in there that i know of, this in the only time I've seen his entire body at once. He loves algae wafers and takes them from the tweezers into his cave.

Farewell destructo, job well done... traded him in today for a few nassarius snails and an electric blue hermit. Such a pretty urchin but he's dragged too many corals into unwanted battle. He won the old war on the red turf algae now he can cause havoc in the shops 500g display for the rest of his days.

Ok this is an awesome algae turf scrubber.

We fought off an algae outbreak and are coming back strong

Algae scrubber that I made...top notch!

Added a new inhabitant. Hopefully he helps with the algae!

This is the tank now with 4 different macro algae and cheato and mangrove in the sump
