Red Valonia on Koralia

[JC_UF_ITK]

The only place in my tank that I have Red Valonia algae is on my koralia. Besides just scrapping it off, what's the easiest way to ride my tank of this? Thanks.

Personally, I'd leave it, since I like it, but scraping it off is the easiest way to go. Over the long haul, nutrient control might be able to starve it out, too. I did that by growing and harvesting a macroalga, and reducing feeding.

Manual removal before you do a water change and keeping the nutrients low are your best bet. I think crabs, fish, etc are pretty hit & miss. Mostly miss IME. Here's a good article.
