Lobophora
Hello All,
Sorry, I know algae questions are like belly buttons (everyone has one), however while I am not a brand-newbie to reefing, I am new to this forum so I am taking initial advice and posting this question here.
I seem to have an algae growing in my tank that I have identified as brown lobophora. At first when I saw this growing I was excited (having anything growing rather than dying was a plus at first) so I made sure that I was careful not to damage it when cleaning and "fussing" around in my 2 year old 300L tank.
Now, however, it seems to be encroaching in other places and lately it seems to have really taken off. I have read that Mexican turbo snails eat this stuff, do we have these snails in Aust? Alternatively, does anyone know what else might eat this?
Thanks for any advice
Sandie
