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.

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.
