My hair algea sollution

[hexedagain]

I bought a couple of zoanthid colony's, only to get them with a good bit of hair algae.
I finally moved them to the tank with my foxface in it, and tried to document the before, during, and after shots.
I was amazed with what happened. The foxface started circling the rock as soon as my hand came out of the tank, and was nipping at the algae before I could get to my camera. Look at this rock, compare the polyps on it, there location, and look at the after picture of them. WOW.
You can also notice in the first few pics, the polyps are still closed from just being placed in there.
Here's the pics, and I hope I have these in order. LOL.

More pictures following in the next post......

The foxface also had the help from a couple of blue legged hermits, and a scarlet legged hermit.
What do you think?

Also note, this is over a three day period.

Yeah.. when i cured my rock in my tank and cycled it it was pretty full of disgusting stuff ALL OVER EVERYWHERE like that. a few days, a few turbo snails and my foxface and voila, pristine rock!

Very, very cool over-time documentation on it i love it

I just moved another frag over, and got the before pics of it. Old foxy is working already. LOL. Let me upload them, and I will post.
I will post after pics when it is clean. Frag went into the tank at 11:18 tonight.
Pics coming soon.

The first picture in the second set, is your clownfish really colored like that or is it just the picture?

If you are talking about the black one, yes he is colored like that. He looks like he laid on the sand bed, and got sprayed black. He has orange only on the bottom, fins, and face. I love the way he has colored up.

He was sold to me as an Ocellaris. Maybe someone here can ID him from that pic. I have tried for weeks to get a pic of him, and didn't even notice him in that one. LOL.

 

[jsl6v8]

He is an Ocellaris a Black and White oscellaris, never seen one with the bottom fins orange but other than that he looks exactly like one, they are commonly called black and white percs.

Another before after shot, this was over a two day period.

That is not the same one I was asking about, this is (in the front):

The blue is starting to come back.

 

[chrisstie]

Yeah thats getting there but from the picture at least it looks pretty healthy actually. It also could just be a different strain from the other and will come up slightly different- unless you have a before shipping pic.

I can't seem to capture my rainbow on camera without its colors looking totally.. off.
