Nest-Alge

Durch die Nest-Alge habe ich bisher keine Probleme.Sie wächst zwar in ihrem "Nest" hat sich aber ansonsten nicht weiter im Auqarium vermehrt.Sie fast sich sehr hart an und hat bei mir bisher zu keinen negativen Auswirkungen geführt.Da ich die Alge recht dekorativ finde, hoffe ich auch daß ich es später nicht bereue, die Alge nicht entfernt zu haben.

Sehr leicht haltbar und kann leicht zu einer Plage werden. Die Krabbe 'Percnon gibbesi' hat bei mir unter den div. Kugelalgen-Arten sehr gut aufgeräumt.
