im watching a special right now on NOVA, KCET. hope this answers some
questions for all.

It seems that the algae dubbed "Killer Alage" that has
taken over the Mediterranian and found also in some parts of California now
is a marine tank hybrid that has been released into the wild, accidentaly or
otherwise relys on a single toxin that is in high dosages that the fish
eventually cant handle to eat. It is commonly found in marine tanks and i
think its invading my tank
as well. SO i guess we cant rely on and fish or urchins to control it. The
sexual gametes are about 5 microns in size.They did a study on these and
found no female gametes. What they have found out is it seems that it
spreads by
vegatative reproduction thr


I have three varieties of that stuff including the "killer" one and
the hermit crabs have become huge decimating it in my fuge.
A few other weird crabs that hitchhiked in have also been seen eating
it. Must be the reason it doesn't do as well here in the Florida
waters, all our stuff eats it.
Now they are eating all my cheeto.
