Assorted macro. Some of that emerald crabs will eat. Tangs some. Urchin will keep it mowed down if you pluck it out. I like it. Good for your tank if managed. There's several guys here that can be specific with identity. Good luck!3 more..
I have 2 emerald crab and 1 mespilia urchin.. they don't touch this algae..Assorted macro. Some of that emerald crabs will eat. Tangs some. Urchin will keep it mowed down if you pluck it out.

Nevermind...P.S. I doubt it's Udotea (Mermaid's fan), since species of this genus are generally found rooted in sand.
thx !Likely Avrainvillea; sadly, there isn't much information on this algae online.

Personally, I am not seeing any Caulerpa paspaloides, though I have found that Udotea can sometimes grow rather "feathery." It's definitely all calcareous green macroalgae (which is generally desirable), though it seems to be a single species.Some looks like paspaoids. halimeda and others cactus algae often found in carribean sandbeds.
You will find most of these leafy species are either non-consumable by cleaner crew or contain toxins to prevent them form being a meal. You may have to cut away with a paring knife and utilize a dental pick or small crochet needle to pull remaining. If anything would eat root structure, likely an urchinwho could eat this calcareous algae? a sea slug?
thx for your help

Correct. The areas I pulled by the root are collateral damage now as urchins pass. Same with crabs. Once it forms a lobe or leaf it's gonna grow. Put one of those rocks in the sump and let it grow.My quote- looking on a phone- I specified looks like.

Do you have a pic of yours?Hi, have you managed somehow the outbreak of that algae? I have exactly the same and nothing works in my case. After toothbrushing it spreads over the tank
