I think this is red turf algae, but not sure. Does anyone know a predator for this? Thanks.

Looks like you have a flatworm problem as well. :eek2:

Not sure on the red turf algae...

For the flatworms 1/4 inch siphon hose and some airline tubing, check the tank often and siphon out any you see, eventually you can get them all.

As far as algae turbos have been known to eat red hair.

Thanks graveyardworm, do you think a flame angel would help against the algae at all?

I havent had that exact algae so I cant comment on exact controls aside from having a turbo eat some red hair I had. Which tank is this in the 12 or 29?

The 29.
