Well, I haven't bleached it yet...I'll see what I can do with a waterchange and manual removal tomorrow. Maybe I will wait it out awhile longer since the tank is finally coming back round now that the Banger babies aren't in there anymore.

I think if you decide to try emerald crabs you'll find they are good at erradicating the tiny elongated stuff. In my experience that is the ones they go for first. I think the large ones are tough skinned and less edible.
My foxface and tang play football with the large valonia when they break free of their moorings and it seems to stand up well to all the abuse
