Haha. Hi 5 ! Is yours bad? Mine only grow on that 1 pc of rock. The rest of my rock.. seems ok.

i used to have these in my tank as well.

it was encroaching on the corals so i decided to get a sea hare to settle it.. 

the sea hare did such a good job till it starved itself because no more algae to feed.

 

i suddenly cant remember the name the algae

Absolutely.. it does great job... I had tons of brown algae .. i added 3 of the they just sweeper the whole tank.. make sure u remove one after other as ur algae lowers if not they will starve to death and will release toxic waste with high ph and ammonia spikes in ur tank.... not to worry much though

Nice colours on yr SPS dude!

Could the brown stuff be slime from chemical warfare between corals?
