I had an emerald crab that ate them. I used to have them everywhere but within 3 months of adding the crab they were all gone. I haven't seen one since and that was 2 years ago

BURN EM!!!
I've heard of pulling the rock out of the water and giving the infected area a work over with a small torch.

Old thread, new info. Powerwashing the rock they're on seems to work very well

I just went ape on the rock in my nano that was infested with them, I thought I had them localized to one rock but upon further inspection they were rampant everywhere. Since the nano got nuked I thought it time to rid the tank of its excess of grape caulerpa and hydroids. I'm happy to report that they are no match for the mighty power of high pressure water
