    Hiya,

    Newbie to site and I apologise if this is answered elsewhere. I did look but couldnt see an answer.

    I have this white algea stuff growing on live rock and aqua roche. Its like little roots but are transparent when removed it grows back practically next day. Please see pics, any ideas on what and how to get rid would be greatly appreciated.

    sponge, exposure to air will kill them but most starve to death anyway
