Red Chilli Coral

[aaron7405]

Hi there I have a red chilli Coral than starting to get some green hairy algae in some of their tips

What can I do and where do I have to place it?

first, pick off what algae you can.
you can help deter algae growth by moving the chili too- someplace with a strong water flow, where there isnt much light. Under a ledge or in the mouth of a cave, something like that. Being nonphotosynthetic, they can handle conditions that will make life more difficult for the algae.

Thanx Im looking rigth now the perfect sport for it. But is kind oif hard to get strong flow to some caves , I will have to point a powerhead direct to chilli, but I will try to hang it from a side of a rock where the ligth is not strong. Or I will have to biuld a cave for it.

Thanx a lot.

i heard hanging them upside down on a ledge or cave will make them happy.

I did and seems more happy there.

But the current is hard to point in this particular hanging way.
