Now there's a good question. I don't have experience of the situation, though I have had the horrible hairy stuff many many years ago and currently have plenty of coralline algae but none of the other. Coralline algae has a very hard surface (it seems) and it could be that the other algae can't get a hold - hopefully this is correct? An excess of green hair algae suggests excessive nutrients and this is where the battle to eradicate begins, though the algae can hold out for a long period. Whenever algae is removed, nutrients go with it but the nutrient source needs to be eradicated as far as possible. With beginners a major culprit is overfeeding. Hopefully someone can expand on the question about the algaes. Hello.
