+1 so feed the tank Kent microvert or phytoplankton. Not too much or you feed the bad algae.

LOL I don't blame you! You just don't ever know anything for sure with this hobby.

My emerald crab tugs on the algae of the feather duster...don't know if that's what you're talking about. Nannochloropsis (or any type of phytoplankton) can be fed to them if you don't think that the food from the water will be enough...it usually is.
