maze and red algae
The maze I bought a few months back had a small piece of the red hard looking algae. It is right in the center up towards the top of the maze. I have since read that this kind of algae can take over corals and eventually kill them. So should I very gently try to pull this algae off or just leave it alone?

Rhonda-
I passed over your question because I don't know what the maze is you're talking about. I know it as either corn or a puzzle with many blind alleys. But the hard red algae, could it be coraline? The coraline I have growing ranges in color from deep purple to dark red. Or do you think it's comething else, like slime? Red slime is usually real soft. ------------------ If it's broke, don't fix it---hide it. |
