hairy stuff on live rock

[RCA]

I noticed some of the live rocks have hairy stuff on it. Is it normal?

[Endorrachua]

Get some turbo snail to clear it. they very efficient

I already have 3 turbo snail already for my 3ft should I buy more?

3 is insufficient. Get other like silver dollar, sea cucumber, sea star, hermit crab or other type of snail rather than just turbo snails.

[AquaReefer]

3 snails for 2 feet tank is certainly not enough.

[RCA]

Oh so roughly how many in total should I get?

[kanegan]

If you are interested I can give you some stomatella snails. Won't knock things down like turbo snails

My2ft tank also started to have hairy algae, put in one snail but still couldn't get rid of them. got to clear the algae manually.

[moonwater]

my tank has alot of those hairy stuff too, and i got 8 turbo snails... did a fantastic job of clearing those

[moonwater]

btw mine is 3feet tank as well

[Athier]

For a 2 feet tank with some zoas and sps,

any recommended reef safe fishes to clear the hairy stuffs from the rocks?

Thanks.

It maybe due to excess nutrient. Try Algae blenny or Tailspot blenny :-)

Check the source of Algae..No3 and po4..CUC Will Handle,,since you have Turbos already..why Not add more..And if your tank is big enought get a Tang they love grazing on algae..i tryed a Singanus Vilipinis..Cleared all algae within a week..but they do pick at corals..but he out of my tank now...

[Cruzer]

Try yellow tang,my yellow tang cleared all the hair algae in my tank

[redsuns]

Sounds like my 1 Trochus Snail is not enough for my 2x1x1 feet tank! Should I get more of these snails or others? Tiny bit of hair algae, green and brown.

i have turbo snails if u wan...but they do knock over the corals. HAIZ!

Bro if your interested in marine snails (what algae they feed on etc) you might want to refer to this link ( http://joejaworski.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/whats-the-best-snail-for-a-reef-tank/). I got all the info from there.

I have 2 night shift abalone that settle all my hairy algae problem.

[GuyFawkes]

get some turbo snails should do the job quickly!

[Planted]

I have 7 turban snails and 1 margarita snail but they seem to ignore long hair algae. Where is advisable to get abalone/turbo snails? the lfs I went only have turban as of now.
