I've let my tank go a bit lately, and I've completely lost the battle with the green-striped mushrooms. They now number 500-1000 at best guess. They cover every rock an inch thick in some places. ...

Na, doesn't hurt - it just scares the hell out of you. Its the male that goes after me. The female will circle but never go in for the bite. The last time I rearranged the tank, I had to...
