i forgot where i read it, but i rember reading that anubias is common to get that type of alage to grow on it. Heck, even my anubias nana has it in my lil nano and nothing else.
Oh, that type of algae... Yea it's usually prone to most algaes because it is a slow grower. I thought you meant black spots on the leaves and stuff like java ferns. Don't know why...
My anubias doesn't have that though.The black spots, i know what your talking about. I think it just happens only to old leaves of the java fern..
But yeah, you got it right on,the algae grows on the anubias because its a slow grower!

Well, no success with flourish.
I took it out (it is rooted on a 10 pounds rock, just to help) tried manually as well.
So I decided to rescape to have taller plants hide the anubias from light a bit.
Has anyone tried the bleach thing? I wanna know the process

Its a real quick bleach dip, but i heard anubias can take 5-7sec in it.
Google anubias bleach dip, im sure you will find somthing.

How did you treat it with excel? Spot treat with a syringe? If you dont have anything sensative to excel I'd do atleast a double full tank dose and squirt the entire amount right on BBA. It may take several treatments over many days. As it starts to die it will turn from black to a lighter color, and your SAE might then be able to eat it (supposibly when the stuff is fully dark colored the SAE's wont eat it). Dont expect with excel to treat it once and the next day it will just vanish.
Im having that problem with my approx. 10 week old tank. It's just recently finsihed cycling, and only my java fern and my fake rocks have it. Everything else is clean. Well, except for the corner of my tank which I keep scrubbing off, there is a patch of green algae that grows.
