Can you tell me what algea this is and how to get rid of it? Very tuff stuff.

Slug I guess, but anyone know a little more about it?

Looks like mini mini aptesia, but very small and growing like algea. It covers a space of about a quarter. Know what it is and how to get rid?

Thanks all!!!!!!!
 
1. Bubble Algae. Use Emerald Crab or other solution you'll find on the web. But first fix the imbalance that is causing it.
2. Possibly snail eggs, anybody else have a clue?
3. Unsure of the species.
4. Clove polyps. If you figure out a good way to get rid of them let me know.
 
+1 on one and two, but

3- Stomatella Varia snail. Harmless, and a nice little CUC hitchhiker. =)
4- Colonial Hydroids. Yank those suckers out, they sting.
 
Thanks guys!!

Any other ideas on how to get rid of the #4 (Hydroids)???

My tank is very deep and I cannot reach the bottom by hand. Only way to take them off by hand would be to take the rock down and out of the tank and I don't think I will be doing that.
 
No other suggestions on gettin grid of #4? I would really like to get them out without tearing down my tank.
 
You can smother those hydroids with some epoxy. Just flatten it out and then lay it down like a blanket over the top of them.

I heard the Hydroids can float around and kill zoas and other types of corals, not sure if its true, but i wouldn't want to wait around to find out. The only thing i can think of is if you don't want to retrieve the rock they are on is myabe slow down on feeding and hope that they will die out. I was looking around a little bit on the net about this and some people said their flame angel ate them. Also some people were talking about a kalk solution working, injected with a syringe. Do some searching around on the net
