Recently in my tank I've noticed patches of very small hydroids popping up. They arent causing any problems YET, but I need to get rid of them. I've been using Joe's Juice and that seems to take care of them, but more appear in different places on the rock a few days later.
What I'm getting at is, what exactly causes them. I believe I've read excess nutrients in the water column. Is there a specific way to get rid of them??
Thanks,
Mark

Bang once told me that a keyhole limpet will eat them. There is also a nudi that feeds on them but they are impossible to find in the aquarium trade. I would do your best at killing them with kalk past or joe's juice if that's working. They are filter feeders so maybe cutting back on feeding for a while may help??
I had them BAD for a while... but they have reclined on their own. I do still have some still causing problems... like this one.
