Reef Safe Calerpa Eater

[adw]

Anyone have any good ideas about how to get this devil weed out of my tank.

my emerald carbs do a good job of eating it.

tripneustes gracillis, 'hairy colored pincushion urchin'---may nudge a few, but will back off corals. Just ask for a small one and putty unstable rock. Loves caulerpa, easy to catch at need. Foster/Smith was my source.bbbb

My foxface and tangs make short work of calerpa. They will clean an entire crop in short order.

My very large female false Percula clown eats it!!! Actually, she eats just about anything...

Naso tang & YT loves it.

Thanks guys. For some reason I didn't think there was much that ate it. For some reason I thought it was toxic.

It is toxic. But so are rabbits, and I'm not anxious to get an urchin spine rammed into my hand, either.
