How to get ride of "Halimeda Plant"
I have a lot of Halimeda growing and have to constantly prune its not really my friend
Any ideas on what will eat it? Or how I can remove it?

Halimeda
Great question! I have a ton of Halimeda as well. I've tried picking it/scrubbing it off of the rock but it always comes back.

I had the same problem and heard that Blonde Naso tangs eat it so I gave one a shot. Yup. He mowed them down in no time. Pretty much the only fish that ever touched it (in my experience anyway).
edit: Scratch that ! Sorry, I got Halimeda confused with another macro algae that Blonde Naso Tangs eat. I in fact do not know what eats Halimeda. I do have it in my tank and no one eats it Pretty much just manually prune but thankfully they are easy to prune. Last edited by kien; 06-26-2011 at 02:26 AM. |

It is easy to prune but its spreading and getting tougher.
Oh the biggest problem is the Niger trigger trying to eat me while I do it

Ya, I have the same problem with my 4 stripe devil damsil I've now found it easier to let it grow into a massive ball and then prune by grabbing the entire ball and yanking it all up in one fell swoop, instead of trying to pick out smaller pieces :-)

My regal angel eats it as well as my foxface

Rabbitfishes (foxface as mentioned) and some large tangs (sometimes) will eat it.
