Zoa Alage

[garry_boyd3]

Hi,

I have a lovely Zoa that has been doing well. There is one "bud" that has not opened for over a week & has algae on it now. Is there anything I can do for it, or is it OK?

Thanks

Try and tease the algae away with plastic tweezers and pump excess gunge away with a baster, syringe,etc...had to do this often during bryopsis algae outbreak in my tank...have you added any red leg or blue leg hermits to graze on this yet???

Persevere (that spelling does not look reet) with the methods buddyboy said, its waht I had to do.

Cheers Gary, blue legs will help but getting a baster is a good toy,lol..use for spot feeding, blowing down rock occasionally for detritus pockets, spot squirt cleaning, sucking up small greeblies,lol....
Ric will appreciate feeds til settled in too
