It reminds me of the "big sargassum" forests you see out on the west coast and down to California and all that. But the caulerpa .... if I had the space I'd get a foxface because supposedly they'll eat caulerpa indiscrimately. Eating caulerpa seems beneath my tang somehow. He won't touch the stuff. Sigh.

fox face doesent work so far I have bought both a defective yellow tang and a defective fox face.

mind you I am not si sure that they will eat the already established stuff so much as maybe the brand new growth. I picked the heck out of my grape calurpa and I have not had any new stuff reapear in a month. as for the razor, it isn't comming back as fast but there was a lot of area's I couldn't pic while the rock was in the tank. So maybe they are keeping new growth at bay.

I will say that the two emerald crabs I put in 3 weeks ago did a hell of a job on the bubble algae.. no little ones left.. now I just have to remove all the big ones.
