I have grape caulerpa growing on my rocks and it is spreading like wildfire. Anyone know what I can do to get rid of this stuff? I AM running phosban and skimming fairly aggressively.

if it's in a 38g, you could borrow a small tang, many will go after it.

I had a urchin clean off my macro algae in my main tank, both tuxedo, and long black spine. They also did wonders on my hair algae a few years back. but they also knock everything over, so you have to becareful of what's not secured.

My rabbit takes care of any I toss in the tank for him to nibble on. He will clean infested rock and it never comes back. He will eat most anything green.....

I have lps, sps and inverts tho. I read they are not compatible with these.

I got a Foxface Rabbitfish, no issues with what you mention above plus a clam, but then each fish is an individual.

I have clams, sps, lps and softies with my scribbled rabbit and he hasn't bothered anything in 2 yrs. Yet.....I think all fish have some risk but my thought is you keep them feed with what you want them to eat and you lesson the risk.
