Combating ball algae
🦀 Effectively combat ball algae – with Mithrax crabs
Ball algae ( Valonia sp.) are among the most persistent algal pests in saltwater aquariums. They multiply rapidly, adhere firmly to rocks, and can overgrow corals or displace valuable habitats. Mithrax crabs ( Mithraculus sculptus ) are a natural and extremely effective solution for their control.
These small, useful helpers are 100% reef-safe , easy to care for, and specifically target ball algae. They do not harm corals or other aquarium inhabitants and actively contribute to biological algae control. Especially in combination with healthy nutrient management, Mithrax crabs can help keep your reef system clean, stable, and algae-free in the long term.
