View Full Version : How do you get rid of Caulerpa prolifera??
Susan
August 25th 07, 11:54 PM
Set up my 75 gallon tank a short while back and had a "few small" pieces of
rock with caulerpa prolifera on them. Not really thinking this would be a
problem I put them in the tank and now have it all over the rocks in the
tank. Is there an easy way to get rid of this without hurting the other
inhabitants in the tank? This stuff is taking over and I need to get it
under control. I currently have a few fish that eat a little bit of it but
not enough to control it. I can't leave the lights off either as I have a
lot of anemones and corals dependent on the lighting.
TIA--Susan :)

Well Susie Q .evidently you just do and not read up first as any
individual that has half an IQ knows, its not a good idea to put
caulerpa in a DT......it belongs in a sump or refugium at most. I bet
some dumbass here on this group told you it would be fine to put in
the DT. Get a tang or a foxface or put up with it. Yu can always pull
the rocks and scub it down and cross your fingers...or remember not to
take idiots that work at LFS word on doing anything or especially the
adivice given here by Wayne Sallee and a few others.which is for the
most part totally erroneous info.Afterall the guy could not even keep
his stock in his petshop alive and it put him out of business, and he
insists on giving out info on a usenet group...go figure. Pull out
what you can and keep doing it until you can get a proper fish or two
in there to erradicate it.

Hi Susan,
Don't know if this will help if it's running rampant, but in the past I've
"blocked" the light to a specific portion of my tank by temporarily putting
a a small piece of wood (I guess anything will really work though) between
the glass cover and the lights, over the area that I want diminished light
to. It just took some experimentation to find the right size obstruction &
placement on the glass, without casting too big of a shadow and effecting
anything else. This combined with manually pruning some of it out may help.
I have to be honest, I've never tried this with caulerpa, but have succeded
with other lower forms of algae by doing this. This way there are no animals
introduced that need to be specially fed after the algae is gone, and if
desired (this is what I did), you can leave one section where the algae
continues to grow, which will make it easier to manually remove by picking
it off the rocks when needed, but maintaining it's benefits to your tank.
If you try it, hope it works for you.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think about blocking an area. I've been
able to keep it under control in a small area in my previous tank where the
rocks with the caulerpa were beforehand (by pruning it and the fish keeping
it "mowed') but somehow or another it really took off when I set up my 75
gallon tank. I'm guessing since I now have VHO lighting on the tank it's
helping it spread. Several of my fish will pick at it but it's just not
enough to keep it controlled now. I guess I have a caulerpa picking day
ahead of me :)

This ignorant ****tard/faggot liar is a usenet newbie and thinks he
is more computer savvy than me...
"I think we'll be seeing less of bobandcarole around these here
parts...at least while I'm around"--faggot ScottyFLL proves he
doesn't have a ****ing clue.
He's soooooo smart, isn't he?....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was almost as funny as his "lawsuit" :-)
BTW...here's a picture of ScAtMaN Scotty and his POP: LOL!!
http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=robclarke1ui4.jpg
He's selling them for $50.00 as if anybody would be
remotely interested in ANYTHING connected to him.
Now, he's going to have to look
up "clueless faggot" and he'll
find a picture of himself..

There's only one ScAtMaN ScottyFLL....Thank God!!!

Thank YOU for playing, faggot. I've relegated you to

If you have tangs eating it, then by simply picking
it yourself, it will make it easier for the tangs to
finish it off. Another thing that you can do, is to
keep an eye out for calerpa snails that eat the
stuff. Those snails are grean, and blend in, and
will multiply quickly. They tend to be picky about
what species of calerpa that they will eat. You are
not likely to see stores trying to sell them, but if
you watch for new shipments of calerpa, you can
often find some, and ask to purchase them.
If the species of caulerpa you have is
prolifera,(flat, not feathered leaves) then I have
not found any snails that eat that much at all, and
fish are less likely to eat it over other speices of
caulerpa. That's the bad news, but the good news is
that it is the easiest to remove from the tank with
your hands. It's also the toughest, and least likely
to crash.

Thanks Wayne for the info. I picked as much as I could yesterday. I've
managed to keep it under control in the past but I guess the VHO lighting
made it take off. Anyone want any it's free for the pickin :)

Take it to your LFS they may give you store credit
for it. It's great for someone that has a fish only
tank, and is looking for plants. It does not grow so
terribly fast under normal lighting.
