Grape Caulerpa is evil...
Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with removing grape caulerpa from their system? some of mine got out from the refugium and has propagated itself all over my tank. I've had enough picking at the rocks with a tweezer every week. Would I just be better off selling off my rocks to someone with a larger tank and a tang?

In a refugium its fine, but once it gets on your LR & corals, yes, huge PITA. Sea hares like it, so do all sorts of herbivorous fish (tangs, rabbitfish). Maybe try a sea hare first & sell it when the job is done (always people looking for sea hares). Mine cleaned off 100lbs of LR no problem.

Sorry to hear about that! I love mine.... in my fuge!
Unfortunately, you'll need to get some sort of critter that eats it, because they make very thin roots that can burry deep into the pores of a rock. As Anthony suggested, a searhare, or tang should do the trick. Chris

I have read on RC that this is a SPS poison, get rid of it. The only way is to get predator or cook the rocks.
