Caulerpa eating Nano reeftank safe fish?

[Biotope7]

No replies on this question when posted in "Reef Fish" forum:

This "Nano Reef" bunch seems to have better response time, ideas and knowledge.

Can any one give some ideas on what will take care of the caulerpa thats going nuts in my tank? I am not sure of the name, but it has runners like an Ivy and has round flat leaves (If you will)
I have to harvest about once a week so it does not cover everything. I am not looking to tear the tank apart for the caulerpa as a means of removal.

24 gallon Aquapod
30-35 lbs live rock
2 percs
1 scooter blenny
various coral
1 BTA

Thanks-Mike

Probrably no one's suggesting a tang because it's such a small tank. And a baby tang probrably won't even dent the macro population. Since you're harvesting it, it's serving as a form of nutrient export, so I'd recommend you keep doing that instead.

What about a unicorn? I was just reading a bit about them....

i thought they were extinct, you know, the whole not getting or noah's little boat thing.

Too funny!!!

More mystical than extinct I'd say.

You dont need to go the fish route at all, get some little blue leg hermit crabs, they will munch that down in a week or two, i had a large population of it and they munched it in a week, 5 in a 10 gallon. But im not sure as to fish

Thanks all- I guess I will try some more blue legs and see if the little buggers will do it. Below is a pic of the caulerpa I amd talking about. Right side behind mushroom.
