    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=4">Mark Peterson</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 4669<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> December&nbsp;16&nbsp;2004 at 10:07am<br /><br />You know I would have thought that the algae that Jon referred us to was A.taxiformis, but the Sea Scope people at Marineland thought differently. They devoted a cover story to it here: <a href="http://www.marineland.com/seascope/ss2003_issue3.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.marineland.com/seascope/ss2003_issue3.pdf</a><br /><br />Brian, in my tank it's growing on the Red Grape Algae that you gave me, just exactly like your pic. When Astrea snails find it they eat it, but getting them to stay on it till it's gone is practically impossible. My brother, Rodney, had a Yellow Tang that gobbled it up. And like Renee, my Rabbitfish eats it, but these larger fish love the Red Grape even more, so using them is out of the question. As for a Bicolor Blenny, all the ones I've ever had like soft filmy algaes but not macros like this red cottony A. taxiformis. My best guess is that you might find a Lawnmower Blenny that will eat it.<br /><br />You might also try  a few more hermits and definitely more snails in the tank. If they get hungry they will eat practically any algae. <img border="0" src="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> ]]>
