Sea-hares and bryopsis...

[mark]

... little outbreak, former like the latter?

My tangs and foxface are not showing any interest even after cutting off their nori supple for a couple of week.

thats the word on the street.

Though they consume quickly and will starve if not fed after it's all gone.

Sea hares do not touch bryopsis as it has a toxin. I wrote an article long time ago on what you can do to help eradicate your problem.

But some people have had success with Kent Tech-M, because of its impurities.

I've seen no effect on bryopsis from sea hares. Elevating magnesium has worked very well for me.

It's a good thing for this forum.
Sometimes I still take lfs advice to heart.

I had quite a bit of it at one time. I did a ton of manual removal with some forceps, then got a nice little Kole tang to finish it off and keep it that way. The Kole is doing very well still :biggrin:

You are lucky. You must have had the bryopsis at a weakened state. The toxin was nullilfied. But congrats nonetheless!
