Open in App
Solution

Green hair algae:

  1. Green hair algae create coatings from which short filaments grow tightly packed.
  2. Green hair algae usually doesn't go away by itself.
  3. It multiplies and spreads, which will make getting rid of it later even more difficult.
  4. Fish and invertebrates are not poisoned by green hair algae, although thick mats can entangle these creatures and prevent them from feeding.
  5. As a result, green hair algae are also called string algae.
  6. If algae are left untreated, it depletes critical nutrients in the water.
  7. It can also prevent light from fully accessing the water.
