Habitat - Indoor :: Green stuff...

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

There's this green stuff growing on my RESs' cave & bottom of basking area (the tiny part that sits under water) I'm guessing it's algae.. Should this be cleaned off everytime we clean her tank or can it be left alone? Is it ever considered "too much" &/or hazardous to her health??

Thanx

I never cleaned mine.It's just darker than the part out of the water from light algae.No it's not hazardous to her health.
