I notice this growing on a frag I recently purchased. Not sure if its a nussiance or not.
It grows close to rock branching out with little mushroom head type heads. I picked all I could see off and my tang was plucking the stray heads from water colomn.

Looks like a type of caulerpa. If so get it out.

I picked out as much as I could see. It's not growing quick so I hope I can be rid of it

Augghhh. That's all I need. I guess I'll do my best.

Any critters that's eat it

I've got some emerald crabs that will peck at it, but certainly not enough to keep it under control. I think I have finally been able to manually remove all mine, but time will tell.

Yellow tang eats mine its easy to remove manually just grows fast and the roots get in between coral and rock crevices

I've got a purple tang on the job and have removed all visible signs.
