That helps some - but I also need to see the opening and the operculum to the snail. Thanks!

| Hi all, are Coralline algae part of the red algae family?

LS & macro algae. Live Stock: 3 damsels, 1 royal grammer, 1 twin spot goby, 1 Lawnmower Blenny, 3 Ocellaris Clownfish, 1 swallowtail angle, 2 Dragonet, 1 open brain green, 1 green mushrooms, 2 pumping xenia, 1 star polyps green, 1 starburst polyps, 1 finger leather, 2 trumpet, 1 flower gonophores, 1green red brain.

Yes, corallines are red algae. Yes, they are generally a good thing to have growing in the tank.

| To add additional information per this "pest" species, I am including a link to a thread detailing my efforts at finding those herbivore species that will consume these types of algae. http://forum.marinedepot.com/Topic92315-9-1.aspx The above linked thread will most likely be a long term project and I will update it each time I find suitable animals.
