First off crabs especialy emeral crabs will help reducing the population.
Second are foxface fish however they do need a good sized aquarium 100 or
more gallons.

My experience with the cal. in a small aquarium (75 gallons) was what seemed
like a endless battle. hawever after a year with emerald crabs and keeping
phosphates and nitrates at unmeasurable levels it finaly got under control.

Hi - as you know i have been battling with this stuff for a while now.
Everything else in the tank is healthy and params are good (except
phosphates which I have no idea as I do not have phosphate test). I
added a phosphate remover which has slowed growth but it is still managing
to grow.

I tried tweezing it out of my live rock but it is impossible to get it all
and a month later it is back. I also dont want to stress the fish by
doing too much in there too often.

Grrr - there must be some way to get rid of this stuff. Is there a reef
safe way or creature to do this?

Thanks,
