grape caulerpa

[Mike Lawford]

Will a conch eat grape caulerpa - I just cant get rid of the stuff - it is
intertwined in the LR and really I need to get rid of it. Its badly ugly!

Any suggestions as to what will eat it or erradicate it - totally?

I had some grape caulerpa that almost completely took over my tank. I
scrubbed the rocks twice and it still came back, until I got a yellow tang.
He ate it all and I traded him for some coral frags. About 2 months
later the grape started coming back so I got another yellow tang and he ate
it all. I've kept this one so I have no more grape at all now. I've
heard that it's hit or miss to whether or not the yellows will eat it, but
I've had luck with two of them.

There will definitely be scuffling at first, but they
should pair up after a while.

So you recommend to go for it then? What is the minimum size tank that I
would have to have for 2 tangs?
