    So, I've had this weird algae start growing in my tank and every spot that I have used CA glue to glue frags to my LR. That's the only place where it popped up. Turns out that algae is bryopsis and it is a nuisance algae !
    Why would the CA glue make that particular algae come out. So now pretty much all of my frags (except the ones I didn't glue) are covered in bryopsis .... and of course it's on a bigger piece of LR, same one my anemone is on ....

    oh and it's bryopsis, I guess the main nuisance algae thread above has a typo

    it is clean territory, and nothing to compete with it in that spot.
