Grape Calpura

CATALYST · 03-21-2008, 07:32 PM

I'm not so excited about this in my tank. Ideas on getting rid of it?

Dentoid · 03-21-2008, 08:01 PM

Get a Foxface.

CATALYST · 03-21-2008, 08:27 PM

Or...?

I don't think it would like the aquapod.

After I posted, I thought to myself "does she have a 'pod?"

Sorry about that.

That's the only way I know to get rid of it.

let it grow where you want it and just pull out the rest, its very sellable to your lfs as its a very good fuge algae

Dwarves?

Sell it to a fellow reefer that has a foxface!

It's tenacious and tough to pull out but if you keep at it you can get it. It's extremely fast growing once it gets a foothold. I'd try to get it out manually now before it becomes a problem. Put it in your fuge if you want. I had it and was advised not to put it in my fuge but get rid of it so I did. It's really pretty so I kind of wish I had kept some for the fuge.

I'm not so sure I think it's pretty. My tank is a year old and it's just now decided to show up in my tank.

Get a small sea hare, let it devour the caulerpa, then give it to the LFS, (they get too big), and try to get credit. Tops it is a $10 solution to your problem, it will take your sea hare about a week or so unless it is very small. Try to get a common sea hare, they fly around your tank with their "wings", awesome to watch. They do come with risks, you should read up on them. But if they are young and there aren't any predators in your tank I think you will be fine.
