Of all the facets (to put it nicely) of marine aquarium keeping that turn off hobbyists, likely none surpasses dealing with pest algae.

Sorting through all that's offered, available in the ornamental marine livestock trade is a daunting task; and one fraught with dangers... Many, most of the life offered is not "mix-able"; too...
