Green Hair Algae Help

[ScienceRulez]

Is anyone aware of any fish or inverts that's will eat these little buggers. I purchased a rock a while back that I was told had a bunch of feather dusters on itno. They are no feather dusters? Instead it'd these annoying tube snails. Some new diamond gobys I added are really mixing up the bottom and these things are everywhere...please help

I didn't know tube snails were bad?

They can cause your pumps to plug up of you have an ought of them and the string of slime the produce can harm corals...especially sps.. which I've read. If I'm wrong please correct me

Everyone,

Thanks for all of the advice......

The RO/DI water I use and the salt mix do not appear to be the source of my phosphates..... However, I will have to purchase new test kits to insure my results are accurate......

And I guess I will order lights and fix the protein skimmer......

In the mean time.... I may add a lawnmower blenny.....

Thanks again....

I'd be really cautious adding a blenny with your twin spot goby ^^ maybe try to get one smaller.

You can always pull out one rock at a time, let it dry to kill the algae, scrub it with a wire brush and then put it back in the tank.
