How to get rid of this?

[whaase]

I've had this stuff now for quite awhile.. how do I get rid of it? It roots itself so hard to everything..



Here is a description taken from http://melevsreef.com/id/algae.html

"Recently I was given this red macro algae, and was told it is Red Cheato(morpha). Since its growth isn't anything like Cheatomorpha, I contacted a few algae experts for help. What it actually is is Caulacanthus ustulatus, but what matters more is knowing that it is an invasive species that we do not want in our tanks. It breaks up very easily into tiny pieces, and takes root anywhere it lands. Fortunately for me, it didn't live long in my refugium. Not Reef-safe."

that looks very much like gracillaria which is highly desired to be consumed by tangs. I wish mine grew like weed......

Too bad my tank is too small for a tang Any other way to get rid of it?

[Chin_Lee]

give them to local reefer who has tangs. what are your parameters that letting them thrive?

[Renegade]
