In my very first reef, many years ago, I thought it would be great to have some grape caulerpa. My enthusiasm was so great, at the beginning, that I spread out onto several rocks in my 75g. Little did I know what a pest it was until it was faaaaaaaaaarrrrrr to late

I took out each rock, as Matt described, and tweezed the little baddies right down to their roots, digging deep into crevices as I carefully examined and tweezed each rock. It took two days to get it all I was determined to kill it once and for all, and, luckily, it never grew back.

Make sure you have a good light over your container of tankwater. Discard EVERYTHING that you pick off the rocks. Have a towel handy to wipe off all the little bits so they don't re-contaminate your tank.

Good luck!
