He mentioned that several photosynthetic sponges have a symbiotic relationship with cyanos that grow within the sponges. That made think about the possibility that the Collospongia-associated cyanos may compete with the free-living red cyanos. Therefore, addition of the collospongia may caused the red cyano to disappear.
Are there anyone else with a similar experience? Would be fantastic if a Collospongia colony could be "the cure" for red cyanos.

Did you introduce the Sponge to your tank or to your sump, just curious.
