    Couple months ago i bought nice Aussie Zoas. Then suddenly green staff started growing. I think its Calaurepa. It overgrows Zoas. What should I do? Any way to fix that? Please help. Thanks.

    pick it clean then dip it weekly in 4:1 tank water to hydrogen peroxcide. DO NOT BE LAX. I had this happen with another species of calurpa and it ruined my tank in 3 months. "Sure some macro will help remove nutrients" riiiight.

    Put the coral in a QT tank to avoid spread of the algae.

    do you have tangs? or algae blennies? I had this in my tank as one of the first algae to appear (early 75 gal) urchins and pbt finished it off.

    bring it to my scribbled rabbit. It will be gone in about 10 minutes.
