This type of alga almost always comes with living rock, and is hardly sold separate. Mostly it disapears by itself, but they are easy to remove by hand. The Neomeris grows very fast in the beginning, but disapears after a while by itself. The reason for this is that their food runs out.

There are still allot seen in our aquarium. But it's overgrown a bit by other Alga

Most of it is gone now, unfortunatly

On December 14 new Corals where added, one of them close to a rock where the Neomeres is showing allot

Still more of them keep popping out everywhere. They also become pretty big now. So they can be found at almost every corner of the aquarium, as might show in the pictures.

Still growing allot, and big. Doesn't overrun like some of the other algea types so not going to do anything about it yet.

Same story, still growing bigger but doesn't seem to become a plague. So I'm leaving them for what they are

Tuesday we added a Hermit Crab, and he already encountered several stick from this algae type

Not much happening with this, they grow big, but seem to be less of them again.

The Neomeris has been overgrown by the brown and grey stuff. I’m afraid I have to declare it dead and gone, because there isn’t a single one to be found anymore.
