Caulerpa anf Fish

I am having a terrible time with caulerpa in my 65 gallon tank, and i have been trying for over a year to get rid of it. At first, I refused to get a tang due to what the tang police says. I caved in and bought a Tomini tang, since my LFS said that it would be the most likely fish to eat it, but he has shown no interest. I was thinking about getting a rabbitfish, but was wary due to their size. Can anyone make any suggestions? I really like these two in particular:

I am also thinking about trading my tomini tang for a yellow tang since I have heard success stories with them and caulerpa.

I am also concerned because I also have an algae blenny, and a sea hare in my tank and I am concerned about all of these herbivores getting enough food

If I got a fish that would out grow my tank, but i only kept it for a month or so (until the caulerpa was gone) would the caulerpa still come back when I give the fish away?

Thanks!
 
puttinng caulerpa in my display was the worst mistake i have ever made in this hobby. I have heard that a foxface does pretty good at mowing it down.
 
Get a yellow eyed kole tang but these fish will only manage the caulerpa the will not destroy it. You can try emerald crabs but again they only manage the problem.
