I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I had some of my green ones do this a while back. I siphoned them off, but some of their base was left. After a few weeks, they started growing back again. I have no idea why they did it as I had no tank changes, but there are a lot more of them after they came back.

Pat, my colony of those did the same thing to me after about a year. I had a nice big vibrant colony and they melted away like yours are doing now.

Really lost at what you are saying Patrick.
What is the relationship between stability and algae?
