TLR Pernicious green algae that seems to primarily reside in/on my zoas are killing them off (I think)
I have fairly minimal algae in my display. However one thing I've noticed on some of my zoa that aren't really opening any more is that there is a layer of green algae directly on the zoa.
It grows up the base of some zoa and then over most of the body of a closed up zoa.
I'm not sure if the algae came first or the zoa started getting "sick" i.e. not opening up any more or the algae took hold and irritated the zoa/paly into not opening any more.
It can be blown off with considerable force using a target feeding device. Id rather not treat the tank with Fluconazole / Reeflux again as my potters angel loves to eat algae and I'm trying to grow chaeto in my algae reactor.
Has anyone experienced this? Any tips on getting rid of it?
My CUC is composed of 4 differt kinds of snails and 3 different types of zoa as well as a couple of urchins. But I'm wondering if CUC won't touch it because it's on/in Zoa/Paly.
