After reading about this stuff sounds like I should be weeding it out before it takes over.

If you consistently harvest some out, it shouldn't go sexual. It's usually when people leave it for a long time without harvesting that it goes sexual. And if you have a tang in the display, it'll eat it all up before the caulerpa gets a chance to establish itself.

Hey Anthony I think you and I talked about this stuff once before, I remember you mentioning that the tangs like to eat it. So I guess I could elastic a clump of harvested pieces together for a Tang snack eh?

None of my tangs ever ate that stuff. I'd harvest and move to the trash

I used to elastic clumps of it to a rock for my tangs to eat.

But honestly, it can be a real pain if it starts growing in your display.

Having said that, I will hopefully never see that stuff again!

My advice is, get rid of it. There are way less invasive stuff you can grow for your tangs to eat.

Ya maybe I just stick to Nori for the Tangs, plus there's that chance of a piece coming loose from the bundle and growing in the DT.
Thanks for all the input everyone.
