I have an algae that has been growing well inside of my 30 gallon fuge on my 120 gallon's system. It has always been isolated to the fuge and never shown up inside the 120. I am currently adding live stock to my new system and do not want to get something that could possibly be a nuisance into my 400 gallon display, although it is an attractive species. Any input would help! Wet Web Media replied back thinking it was a fauchea or gracilera species? Gracilera is ok by all standards but I have heard mixed feelings on fauchea, it is attractive but I don't want an over growth of macro in my SPS display, some is ok and actually desired.
The Live rock in the 120 gallon system is a mixture of south pacific and carribean live rock and the only macros purposely placed into the system were some blue ochtodes, chaeto, and a clump that was sold to me as a gracilera sp.
THe algae in question is easily broken and fragmented, not too "fleshy"
It started out solely on rocks and progressed to the tank walls as the chaeto filled the tank robbing it of light I suppose.
Thanks for any help guys.
