ssheely220 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have assorted zoo's, GSP, 2 Clowns, peppermint shrimp, and a couple assorted Hard Corals. The algae is a type grape caulerpa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJGreene Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm not too familiar with the caulerpas, but I'm not sure there are many, if any, fish that will eat that. Maybe someone else will chime in here and correct me if I am wrong. From my experience, the best way to rid caulerpa is mannual removal. That is what I have had to do when some sneaks in on a piece of LR or coral frag. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
