I have a nano that I started neglecting and areas have been taken over. My snails nor hermits will touch it. An ID and suggestions for removal are appreciated.

My guess is some sort of Gracilaria. A herbivorous fish wuold probably take care of it in no time, but there arent tto many that would do well in a nano. Perhaps an urchin or emerald crab. Looks you could knock it back yourself pretty easily first.

My nano is 30g. I plan on buying a yellow tang for my 120g tank. Perhaps I'll make the purchase and house him in the nano for a short time to see if it's edible.

Yes, I can manually remove a lot but it grows back fairly quickly.

Any other id suggestions?

I was thinking some kind of Gracilaria too. Why don't you just put the tank in the 120 and feed it out of the nano? Some snails may eat it, I know abalone do for sure!
