Hello Group
First question is what type of caulerpa is this and the second is how in blazes do I get rid of it. Almost all the rock in the tank has it and I try to pluck off as much as possible but if I dont for a couple of days it takes over. Most of the rock has coral growing on it so I find replacing the rock hard to do. There has to be a way to rid my tank of this stuff.

Pull pull and pull some more....
Then add some turbo snails...they will eat a bit of it...but you really have to get all the runners...

if I spend about 2 hours every other day pulling each rock out and pluck off all I can it stays under control, but in a week if I do not do this it takes over.

Yea, its fast growing stuff, with nutrients in the water column, the more you have the faster it grows. The Sea Hare would make fast work of it. So would te Turbos if you had a few of them.
