Pest Green Algae Species... Greens that grow too
fast, obnoxiously in marine aquariums...
Defined as such by simply being too much of something...
overgrowing more desired life forms, utilizing too much nutrient
intended for same, possibly producing allelopathogens (substances that
disenfranchise other life), or just being too plain, too much that
nothing eats..., outside of our value systems. There are many types of
these Green Algae. Here's a line-up of most commonly encountered
scourges.
Bryopsis, a
worldwide genus of Greens that appear filamentous to spiky in
aquariums... light to dark green, generally feather-like thalli.
Some Hermit Crabs, Blennies, Zebrasoma and Ctenochaetus Tangs may
eat your type... otherwise, scrubbing, competitive algae filtration
are recommended. |

Chlorodesmis fastigiata, Turtle Weed...
common in the wild, common in marine systems with inadequate
competition, available nutrients, lack of circulation,
filtration... A couple of shots in the wild: Fiji, the Andaman
Sea. |
|
Derbesia,
another worldwide temperate to tropical pest Green (for aquarists)
similar in treatment as Bryopsis. Presents itself as a prostrate
basal portion with erect subdichotomously branched
filamentous portions above... Here in an aquarium. |
