MaeganWink September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 Odd question, but anyone have a nudibranch I could borrow? I have a ton of hair algae in one my one tank I'm having a hard time getting rid of. I know I'd get rid of it eventually, but I wanted to tackle the issue before I moved everything into my new tank and new system. I'd rather not have the hair algae take root there if I can help it. I'd buy one, but I'd be worried about keeping it alive longterm...don't want to starve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lazar September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 A lettuce nudibranch will eat bryopsis, but not common hair algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zygote2k September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 Why not address the reason why you have hair algae in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaeganWink September 19, 2019 Author Share September 19, 2019 Yes, I meant sea hare. The reason is my current system doesn't handle the nitrate load well enough. The new system will, as it's not just a simple hang on the back like I've got now. But again, I don't want to bring over the hair algae to the new system. Found someone to lend me one, so this can close now, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn.reef.nerd September 19, 2019 Share September 19, 2019 I used Flux Rx a week ago. Completely killed off all my bryopsis and reduced the hair algae tremendously. NO ill affect. Just need to take out the macro algae. I tried the sea hare multiple times and they keep disappearing (flow, predator, etc.) before they get rid of the problem. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Vet-Flux-Rx-2000/dp/B07FTXFPMR/ref=asc_df_B07FTXFPMR/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310319009688&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7886834644438990413&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007849&hvtargid=pla-679106967526&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
