After scrapping off the algae that was growing in the hex tank, huge sheets of algae were produced. I was going to take them out, but King Prawn quickly started munching away. Enjoy the pics!

Ah.....blue-green 'algae' (actually a photosynthetic bacterium....probably Oscillatoria).....nice to see that SOMETHING will eat it! :D

Hmmm...I also have algae like that in my hex tank, but no one here wants to munch on it! King Prawn can stop over for a visit if he likes!
