Algae growing on frags

[DrCooper]

Wondering what I can do stop this from happening?

Got 4 great frags with no algae (small aiptasia on one)
Placed them in my tank and 2 of them have algae growing between the zoa polyps and stuff?
Water tests out perfect

Why and what can i do?


thanks

You could also try placing the frag in an area of higher flow. That may help.

tang not an option as its a 12 gallon so will do the more flow!

what kind of frags and what kind of algae is crucial in figuring out what to do about it. if they are sps frags u just need to increase the flow. If its zoas or something make sure u have an effective clean up crew and it should take care of it self as long as ur levels are good.
