U have nuisance algae on other parts of the tank? What size tank do you have what's the bioload like?

Looks like you did not place your seafan in the section with strong current/water movements. Common problem if that is the case, I suggest you have to cut off the part infected with algae and reposition your seafan before it gets worse by the spreading algae, strong water movements will alleviate this problem.

its a 2ft with two common clown 2 fire goby 1 six line and a cleaner shrimp. i know blasting with power head helps but there is always a problem about making the seafan stay in that position then being blown off
