Ive got a growing spot of some sort of algae on my plate montipora. Im thinking about getting a small brush and scrub it off.

Anyone had luck with a more gentle way. Ive tried holding it in front of the power head.

Thanks
 
I did have the same problem, it was hair algae and in a frag of monti too! I let it grown and.one of the emerald crabs and blue hermit crabs took care of it, however the algae was persistent and next couple of times I had to removed manually, tooth brush, the trick with the powerhead never ever work ( vortech mp10)
 
I cant get a workable picture. I think its blue-green slime though. Ive had a little problem with it lately. Not sure why. Parameters are good.

Anyway, I'll give the baster a try and use a brush if not.

Thanks
 
Remove it from the water first if you can so it closes up and use a soft brush, that way your algae won't go into your tank too.
