Timfish Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Is there a critter we can get and is reef safe that eats the cysts in the substrate? That would be cool. Since the Protomont stage crawls around and attaches to rocks or glass or whatever when they encyst algae eaters that scrape the surface eating algae like some urchins and hermits or Sallylightfoots may kill a fair amount but it only takes a few cysts in a crevice to keep the lifecycle going. Here's two good articles on the ich lifecycle: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa164 http://www.int-res.com/articles/dao/1/d001p019.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
