I’ve had many frags purchased over the years that came with algae, bought overseas, from locals, and at reputable stores. I never saw algae as an issue because I could clean it off and my clean up crew would take care of it and proper tank care would always keep it out of my display. I never even considered algae may be an issue for some. Bubble, bryopsis, etc I understand but hair and other common types that clean up crew will eat and can easily be removed I never considered an issue. For this I apologize, as some people consider frags with hair algae as trash and infected and I never knew this until today. Thanks to everyone who has purchased these frags so far for a very low price and been happy. One main reason for liquidating the frag system is I don’t have time for maintenance any longer because of work and school and because it costs too much in utilities to run the system if I don’t have time to maintain, frag, and sell corals on the side. I will do my best to make sure all frags that may have hair algae are separated from any that are perfectly clean for anyone else coming. Thanks.DISCLAIMER: some pieces of coral may have some hair algae attached to them. When I buy coral from overseas all pieces come with hair algae and I dip with hydrogen peroxide and let my clean up crew get the spotless. There is NO bryopsis, just plain hair algae. I sold all fish and clean up crew from system last week so some frags may have some hair algae. This can be treated with hydrogen peroxide or your cleanup crew or you can just make sure you choose frags with no hair algae or request that I do. I had one member complain after he had got home and bought quite a bit of coral for very cheap that he was upset by some hair algae on a massive rock covered in favia and monti. He demanded I drive over an hour to him and give him a full refund or give him 50% refund and he would keep the corals. Even though he had every opportunity to look at corals before he bought them and after they were bagged, I gave a partial refund. This update is just to warn people so I do not have any other repeats. Thank you.
