my live rock

[deebluehippo1]

i was turnin on mi power head until i saw somethin growin on mi rock dey look like little green hairs i am not sure what it could b

 

[hunt]

sounds like green hair algea, If it is, i would take it out because it can spread like crazy

 

[deebluehippo1]

u got any tips on taking dat out do cleaner shrimp work on dat

 

[hunt]

i dont think a cleaner shrimp would eat it. Some fish do, or you can just pull it off the rock by hand when it pops up.

I believe hermit crabs may eat it, but not sure.

emerald crabs will, turbo snails, sally lightfoot crabs

I only recently got an emerald crab and call me impressed! He is an algae eating machine.

Throw some turbo snails in there, I've been having the same problem but with red hair algae and the turbos are eating it right up!
