Anybody out there about this. I'd like to know too. I'm wondering because this happened to mine. I had it in my fuge with some caulerpa and gracillaria. The caulerpa and gracillaria did fine, the chaeto was gone in a month. I figured it was competition of the species.

To much flow in the refugium, Lack of light, Lack of nutrients, Out of wack water parameters, bunch of "possible" factors...

Do you have another algae in there thats out growing it ?
