No. 1, better there than the display.
No. 2, add some more flow. How big is the tank? You shouldn't need much more flow.

I have the same problem with my cpr hang on refuge. It hasn't spread, knock on wood, so I am not too concerned. From what i have read, pods will eat up this nutritious food source and be better food for the rest of the tank. When mine gets too bad I just scrape it off. To each, his own, but I don't let it get to me. I just wish my damsels would end up in the refuge, then life would be sweet.

I have the same condition in the fuge and the display is clean. I have always chalked it up to the low flow. It has been that way for quite awhile and hasn't spread to the display, so I am not to concerned.
