What eats this algae? It's leafy and grows quickly and clogs my powerheads and overflow. I believe this is what I have.
Rosenvingea intricata
R. intricata forms golden-brown cushions from 3 to 10 cm high and from 5 to 15 cm in diameter. It has round hollow branches from 2 to 5 mm in diameter. This seaweed resembles Chnoospora implexa, but is found on reef flats and in tide pools in limestone rocks while C. implexa is usually found in basalt tide pools
I have taken steps to reduce nutrients by upgrading my skimmer and setting up a phosban reactor but I am looking for creatures that will eat this stuff. Preferably an invertebrate or a fish that doesn't grow that big.
Thanks,
Chris
