Hello, I have been dealing with ulva in my DT for a couple of months now, and I cannot seem to get rid of it. I have a tang, snails, and emerald crabs. None of them seem to want to eat it. Does anyone have any other solutions?

I've been fighting it for a year. Found that fluconazole will kill it/slow it down, but it just comes back. If you find something that solves the problem please report back.

How big is the tank? An urchin will eat it. I am sure tangs and rabbitfish/foxface will eat it too if the tank is large enough
I have a tang in it right now. Controversial but it’s a 40 gallon so I can’t get that many fish in there. I have an urchin but I guess I could try getting another .

I will definitely let you know, it’s so annoying, it grows so fast and always comes back
