I agree. I had a major caulerpa problem in my old tank. I asked around for suggestions and I finally just took the tank apart... kept the corals and fish in holding tanks. I dried the rocks for about 2 weeks...then scrubbed them...and placed them back with some live rock. Hopefully they'll get colonize again pretty soon. Scrub em good though...cuz I didn't... and the organic matter on the dried rocks sent the dissolved organics through the roof. *water change*

But crux of the matter...the caulerpa is very dead...and it's nice to see the dried pieces gradually disintegrating off the rocks in the flow...or my hermits muching on them... think I got my revenge...

In a larger tank, tang's and foxface will help get rid of some caulerpas.

My foxface ate all my grape, and loves chaeto. Now I grow both in my fuge and use it as supplimental feeding.

Good suggestion adding chaeto, you can rubber-band it to a rock and grow it on the bottom of the tank, it won't spread where you don't want it, looks nice, and easy to prune.
