Calerpa in my Predator Tank

[builderguy]

Okay everyone...

Does anyone have a suggestion of how to control the Calerpa I foolishly started growing in my predator tank. I was thinking perhaps an urchin.

It's a 37 tall with a Lion Fish and a 14" Snowflake eel.

Urchins

I just delivered ~10 purple long spine urchins to John Wednesday, in a variety of different sizes. I should have more in a couple of months.
They will keep any of your algae problems under control. They are neat looking, and eat algae like it's going out of style.
Stop by the store and take a look at them. He's using them in the frag tanks right now to control the diatom bloom that he's having.

A large rabbitfish might hold his own. Be careful which species: not all will touch caulerpa.

yellow tang took care of the algae and caulerpa in my tank.

My sailfin tang ate the grape caulerpa like it was candy. Damn near made me cry with joy.

I have a black urchin in my 30 gallon which is covered with razor leaf calurpa...doesnt touch it. so just be careful with what species of urchin you use. emerald crabs are the same, though for me they have done well with hair algae.
