Help ID this algea

[br1200]

Hi,

I'm trying to identify this nasty algea.
I would like to know how to get rid of it.
Who eats it ?

I can not take it out by hand, because my tank is too deep.

HHHHEEEELLLPPP!!!!



Thanks

How long has your tank been running?
How many gallons?

Looks like Dictyota sp. macroalgae. Good luck finding something that will eat it.

A Diadema sp. sea urchin might...

LiquidShaneo,

Thanks, any idea of how to control it ?
The reson I did not downsize the pic was
for you guys, to be able to get the best
possible view. (other then sending you a sample)

Anyway back to the problem. From what area on ocean it's comming from ?

Regarding the sea urchin, any downside with that sea urchin, how reef safe is it ?

Thanks for all the help
