Scrub coral next time i change water to get algae

[Richard]

[Okay,
Do I take the hammer out to scrub the hair algae that is growing on it?

I know it's not healthy, but I think it got weaken
when I had a dino outbreak and my frogspawn started
to collapse.
Hairy Hammer :bomb:]

[I am not a fan of 'scrubbing' corals or LR. If you want to remove GHA, get a container of fresh water near your work area. You can clamp it to the tank if nothing else. Take the rock or coral in question, and pinch off the GHA you can see. Carefully hold that pinch of algae and remove your hand from the tank, dipping your fingers in the container of fresh water.

The water will rinse the filaments of algae off your fingers, and repeat the procedure until you can't stand it or you have gotten rid of it all.

This prevents it spreading further, and you won't stress your coral either.]
