annoying grape calupra

[Panch]

The grape calupra is hard to control in my nanocube. Every now and then I have to pull it out by hand. Is there any critter that eats this stuff?

I dont think that there is anything that you could keep in a nano...

What size of tank is it?

What critters eat grape calupra/

Mexican turbo snails will eat it, and one of the urchins I forget the name.. starts with dia I believe. I'm sure someone will come along that knows. Probably easiest to remove it by hand though.

Yea remove as much as you can by hand, then get the turbos. If the turbos dont work, then try an emerald crab. I have heard that some eat the grapes and some dont, so you may have to experiment with a couple different crabs. However I personally have seen one eat the grapes.

Let's just say there's nothing that will eat enough of it that you can or want to put in your tank. Grape caulerpa puts out nasty stuff to discourage most predators.

Im having the same problem with the grape caulerpa and i was wondering if i can get a fish that will eat it. I have a 55 gal tank.

My foxface & naso tang eats it like candy, wouldn't advise those in a 10g tank though, foxface would be ok in a 55 though.
