went on vacation for 12 days and came back and my GSP has some kinda weird blue leafy stuff growing all over it? what is this and how do I get rid of it?

dictyota algae.........naso tang is probably the the only critter we can get that will eat it....

can I take that rock out (only place it is growing right now) and scrub it off with a toothbrush without damaging the polyp carpet?

maybe take it out, try some tweezers and pull what u can before the brush.
is it really stuck on? would shooting a turkey baster or strong powerhead at it blow it off?

didnt want to 'blast' it off incase it spreads in the tank. gonna pull it out and see if I can remove some..... been wanting a naso tang though :-)

If you can pull it out, you can scub it lightly with a soft brush in a pail of salt water, and make sure it is rince out as much as you can.

Should not affect the GSP too badly.
