Caulerpa racemosa, grape caulerpa. And of course you mean macroalgae, ie. large. Caulerpas are the largest single celled organisms on the planet.

Don't you have any fish that will eat it? Mine love the stuff, I grow it in a special area in my sump I set up just for that purpose. They eat it faster than it can grow otherwise. Maybe I should get some from you!

My Naso tang is the biggest pig.

I would be suprised if a Salarias fasciatus (lawnmower blenny) ate caulerpa. I have met a few in my time and they've all informed me that they are not interested in large algaes. Not sure if this is a rule for the species though.

With caulerpa sp. often the best course of action is simply to prune the growth, either out of existence or simply to a more manageable level. You may be able to get store credit by trading it in at AI or Big Al's.
