If Red Coral doesn't have any Mexican turbos, Riverfront always has nice big ones.

I just fought a battle with this stuff, not quite as bad but a few of my rocks did look like that also. I bought some turbo snails about 2 weeks ago. Now I don't know for sure if it was them that ate it all or because its winter now and I have been back to my normal weekly water changes and better tank maintenance schedule but it is basically gone. The sails were on it so I think they did help.

It just so happens that my purple tang eats that crap (and bubble algae) so I've never had the problem. I'll start the bidding at $200... (joking ) I like Dez's idea though. Bring some into a LFS and see if any of their fish for sale will eat it.

Bought 6 mexican turbos today, took out all the rock that didn't have coral on it and I'm cooking it. Introduced my Cowrey snail which seems to love it. I know I said blackout, but I've lost so many corals already, the thought of losing more makes me cringe.

I'll see how the snails make out coupled with very frequent water changes.
