Well, so far it is just green and fuzzy, sort of like moss. The tangs and rabbitfish eat a lot of it, and I just noticed the other day that it is also growing on my turbo snails! I don't believe that it is coraline algae as it is what first started growing on my lace rock when I first put it all...

Okay, so I have a successful reef tank going and the coral is thriving. The fish are doing well and the inverts are doing well. But how can I get rid of the green algae in the tank without harming anything else in there. I have the purple coraline algae starting to appear, but fear that the...

I recently ordered the 30-90 reef crew from swf.com and the red leg hermit crabs seem to be dying off while everything else is surviving quite well. Any ideas as to what is causing this? I had suspected that the brittle star was pulling them from their shells, but all of the literature points...
