My reef is in the fight for it's life with this algae. I can't find it online. The blenny eats it, but not fast enough.
Any ideas on how to manage this?

It does look like Feather Caulerpa. Several turbo snails will probably wipe that out in no time.

Hopefully oldspiceguy got this resolved over 6 months ago. Guys, don't forget the UAS/ATS is the miracle cure for any reef system...
Buy now and ask for forgiveness later.

the solution was a scrub brush, water changes and the lawn mower blenny, he ate the heck out of that stuff.
