Dust Algea

[youngfisher]

Ok, so as ben indentified it as dust algea, he advised me just to rub it off before I put it in the tank, I have just removed some.
But there are a few bits that wont budge, and its spread out in little bits on the rock, so is there any other things I can do?
Any type of snail or crab that will get rid of the dust algea, and I dont remove it before I put it in the tank, will it spread badly?

dont you have something you can scrape it off with?

you will get a fair bit of algae before you know it though

 

[youngfisher]

I have tried scraping it off, some of it will go some of it will not. Its just the fact there is loads of bits all in different things.
Is there any kind of invert or somthing that will eat it or not?
