I have been letting algae go wild in my tank for a while, while it goes through 1st year uglies.
I've been letting the pods thrive from it, making sure it doesn't bother corals, and pick off some only when it's going to cause a problem.
Well, suddenly this last week, i noticed some that was about 2 inches long the was like a thick turf, suddenly started detaching. I got ny syphpne out, and the entire rock came clean aside for the red macro growing on it.
I did not take a picture of the after yet, i will get one this evening, but here is a before from 4 weeks ago. The hair algea you can see in this picture, has since completely covered the rock, and then all at once came loose enough to siphon out witg h no effort, aside from unclogging it as it all came off in one piece.
I did not know it would do that, it had me worried if there is something I should be checking.
Has this happened for any of you?
