[PowderBlue518]

I have tons of macro algea in my 12g nano, Its all over my LR. I have a clean up crew ,but it doesnt seam to help this problem. Is there a certain fish that I can buy that will eat all the macro? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jill

The only pic that I have available is the one in my gallery. you can see it( its green and fuzzy like) not sure how to get it out

That pic is no help ... it's smaller than my avatar and blurrier. However if it's green and fuzzy it's most likely regular hair algae. A small Sailfin Algae Blenny will take care of it and they are usually easy to find. Hermits will also graze on this along with snails and even some starfish. If your tank was bigger a tang would love it.
