It came in on a frag that I bought from a friend, and seemed to stay put, so I had no idea what kind of plague I'd brought into my tank. Then it started to spread...and spread...and spread. It's easy to pull off, but comes back overnight.
I think it's Asparagopsis, judging from the algae guide I bought...anyway, I was told that Mexican turbo snails would take care of it, so I got one, but so far mine hasn't touched it. Has anybody successfully battled this evil, evil stuff? It's getting all over everything--live rock, tank walls, even my halimeda. I fear for my corals. Help! :(
Additional information that may be helpful:
*It's only 34G (Solana), so a tang or rabbitfish is out of the question, unfortunately.
*Murphy's Law being what it is, it's also skimmerless at the moment, because my Sapphire up and died on me (the company has gone out of business and the skimmer can't be modded). Because of the way the tank is constructed, there aren't really any skimmers that fit without modding, but I've heard very mixed reviews on those anyway. The stock skimmer is pretty useless.
