Should I remove this?

[this is me]

Just notice this calcarious(sp?) algae on my blue maxima and it grows pretty quick and pretty big. Should I remove it ot let it grow on the shell? Is it harmful?

not sure? It doesn't look like it is hurting the clam. Tough call. Does it bother you?

It looks nice!! Can I get a frag in the next meeting?

 

[this is me]

it does, doesnt it? looks kinda like a birdnest.

 

[synchiropi]

Yeah i like varying the life diversity in the tank. I would think your Ca and alk are pretty high?

 

[this is me]

Yes, my alk and calcium is high. 10-11dkh and 450ppm.
The calcariuos grows pretty quick. I probably just let it grow since it doesnt bother me and it doesnt seem to bother the clam either. Though it is reaching the mantle.

You can always move it to another location

If it grows so fast you can spare a little for me... LOL!!
