A more colourful member of the cleaning up crew hard at it and totaly reef safe,well not for algae and cyano though.

This is the algae on one of the tanks spray bars Uncleaned.

The combo of biscuits,lawnmowers,a phyllidiid nudi and our abundant local peps,there is some serious cleaning going on,lol.

Yep its part of the phyllidiidae family.

I read that when I got it about the sponges bit,it’s in my books, but this one hasn’t touched the sponges in the top tank.

There are different forms of sponges, the cyano symbiotic types that these like ,there aren’t any of those types in the top tank.

The info on marine life isn’t always exactly right and there are many variations from the norm as well, my one hangs at the top and mid way knocking off the algae and cyano.

I have just got to find some other colours now and add more, it does really well in there.

Semi high nutrient waters always provide a rich variety of algae and non revolting cyano for those that need them in there diet.

Suctorial feeders,lol,so they really suck,lol.
