    Emeralds will definitely help as they eat most non calcareous algae when small.

    Agreed. My emerald didn't touch it.

    Just found the largest one in my tank... it's in my refugium ironically enough (sad excuse for a fuge, it's just a chamber with no sand bed and some chaeto). It's just over 1 inch in length growing literally on the side of an acrylic baffle.

    I need to know if I should take this out or leave it in there as a nutrient export. I would imagine that it'd be best not to have it in there in order to keep the seeds out of there, but the fuge gets a longer light cycle (reverse light cycle) and I'd rather the stuff be in my sump, so I am stuck not knowing what to do. What do you guys recommend?
