I have a reddish maroon film growing on my rocks and glass. It gets kind of stringy if it gets rubbed off at all. I have the following algae eaters in my tank...
2 emerald crabs
5 blue leg reef hermits
1 red leg reef hermit (not scarlet)
1 bumblebee snail
1 arrow crab
I've heard that this is called "red slime algae." What will take it out? These guys aren't keeping it under control. Also, how many will I need to keep it at bay in a 42 gallon hex tank?
