Hey everyone!
My problems all started after I bought a piece of Marshall Island rock. First were the strange little green anemones....kind of cute until I found out they were majano anemones! (I still have a few of them hanging around...). Then there was the flatworm outbreak, and now it's bubble algae. I've managed to keep things under control for the most part. Mostly doing physical removal of the offending critters. But this bubble algae just won't stop! The worst part is that they tend to get into tight crevices where I can't get at them so they end up spreading. I have read that the emerald crab will sometimes eat bubble algae, yet I've heard of them eating other things too.....so if you have any feedback on them I'd appreciate it! My biggest concern with regards to the crabs eating other things is my flower anemone. This was a hitchhiker on another piece of rock that I've raised from a nickel size baby to a (now) 4" adult that I am very attached to. The only other corals in this tank are some mushrooms and porities coral. Other inverts are featherdusters, snails, cuke. Also have 4 small fish and shrimp. This is a 20g so I'm limited on what I can put in there.
Thanks!!
