Well I'll offer my opinion then
 I had some halimeda in my tank last year. Personally, I love the stuff, I really like the look of it and as a dual purpose it uses up nutrients that other nasty (ie. caulerpa) macroalgaes might otherwise use. You may not want it in a tank where you are dosing calcium but I had a reactor so I didn't see it being a problem. I was doing pretty well growing it last year until the dinoflagellates wiped it out.  HTH Christy

Personally, I like halimeda. Like the others have stated, just keep Calcium levels high.

thannks for the replies guys
 i think that i might give it a try and see what happens. i would like to maybe try and move it to a better spot though.now that i think of it it started to grow after i added some sps corals and dosing calcium. the stuff must have been there all along and didn't atart growing untill the calcium levels were high enough. i have haf that rock in the tank far longer than any of the sps corals.

If you want to get rid of it just bring it to work I have room for it I love the stuff but only have a small amount.
Cheers Tyler
