[kschew1498]

Do you guys use this in a refugium??

[Dinosaur]

In my main tank

My tangs dont even want to look at it ....

[Achilles Tang]

Its toxic to fish. They won't eat it. So far the only creature I know that will eat it is the lettuce nudibranch. Had one before that wiped out my turtleweed.

Anyway, from my experience, these kind of macroalgae's beautiful but will ultimately crash somehow.

Turn white, melt and die. Releases toxins into the water.

Shit!

It is going to kill my fishes again

[Garlic]

Yes, mine turn white after a few weeks. For your information, my hermit crabs eat them all, left only the rock.

Do they release toxic when still green?

Hi Achilles Tang

Will all the fishes get kill?

If this is the case, we should never have it in the main tank or sump tank at all?

Thanks

Then I dun know what type of tangs I have...!!!

They always eat it everytime I forget to replenish their nori and red bamboo!!!

At first, I was puzzled why they always go 'botak'.

Then at the second one then I realised it was the doing of my tangs when I saw them in action!!! To date, they have annihilated seven of them liao!!!

Well...I guess there are exceptions... just like some mandarins only eat pods while some eat brine shrimps...

[flubberina13]

Anyway, back to the topic...I always get mine from T95 and once from Coralfarm.

The former's ones are usually rather bushy and worth the price...

[AquaRa]

where's bio-ocean

[trevy]

I got one of that before.. a few days later it turned white and there goes my money hehe.

Later do some research and read from somewhere that they need to be placed near moderate to strong current else will turn white
