Algae
The one at the back is a Valonia Bubble which you should carefully remove without popping it!
and the other algae at the back is fairly common although i forget the name; if you have tangs or snails they will eventually eat it. My tangs love it. :smile: Simon |
Thats great thanks for the info.

Algae
I have been looking again at your picture :neutral: and the brown algae at the back might actually be a Dictyota species.... Hard to say without a close up.
If it is then it might be best to remove it rather than let it overgrow. :wink: Regards, Simon |

+1 Dichtyota... mine is iridescent blue though :mrgreen: Anyhow, I just pluck the algae off, I have some wiry stuff that is fairly aggressive but I find if you remove it relatively aggressively it goes away over time (or at least doesn't grow back as thick). The Dichtyota you can just pluck the leaves off areas where you don't want it, it grows slowly enough if your plan isn't to eradicate it completely.
