Red algae herbivore?

0

All attempts at manually harvesting it just spread it more. As you tear it off the rocks, small pieces are blown around the tank and establish where they land. I don’t think I can ever eradicate it so I need a method of control. As per some other responses on your site I will reduce nutrient input, increase water changes and get another herbivore. I have read that a type of Hypnea has become a pest in Hawaii and studies indicated a type of Siganus and sea turtles eat it. So if I can’t find a sea turtle 🙂 I may have to settle for a Rabbitfish.
