From FrugalReefHair algae looks like a soft mat of green fur growing on just about anything. It can grow very fast, and most people consider it a pest. Notable creatures that eat hair algae include Lawnmower Blennys, Turbo Snails, and Sea Urchins. Green hair algae requires high levels of phosphate to grow, above .05 mg/L. For phosphate reduction techniques see Algae Control. [edit] See Also |
