Title says it all, at my local petco aka my only fish store with in an hr...
That's what I thought, I forget who eats hair algae? My brain is a space case right now
My concern was more for my tank if I bought a frag from theirs
Wow, the Petco in State College has frags? The one in Dubois barely has soft coral...all of my coral I have to order in!
But yes, just standard hair algae that can simply be removed.
Just pick off the algae, it will only grow with excess nutrients, its in all tanks for the most part.
Just as algae is on all coral reefs.... most people totally freak out of they see some in their tank, but I actually allow a little bit to grow in mine. Not only does it give my scarlet hermits & astreas something to graze on, it consumes excess nutrients, and it's also an additional observable barometer for my tank's condition......
