Caulerpa taxifolia
can get out of hand.. try pulling as much of it out as you can..
or get a fish that will eat it..my old foxface loved it.

Yup,Get a foxface, or maybe a tang, or just pick it out...

This stuff can be a real pita, good luck and hope you can kick it

I can remember buying that stuff for a tank I had with 6 tangs in it. Never got out of control with 6 of them eating it.

Thanks for the help guys! I pulled most of it out after everyones advice. I actually learned the hard way: tried to grow it in preparation for use in a fuge as well but fore some reason a bunch of them vaporized and I lost 4 fish and an anemone.

Thanks again

Reggie

these caleurpas release toxins when they vapourize or go into assexual reproduction which may be why your fish died. I grow all my algaes in a fuge.

and does anybody have this locally? I wouldn't mind getting some for it for my fuge too.
