Hello I have neglected my tank for a while. This algae has taken over. I can pull some of it out by hand but not all. It grows really fast. Any recommendations on what to do to get control of it? I tried a couple doses or Vibrant but doesn't affect it.

TIA

This is Caulerpa. Most tangs and large angels love to eat it. I harvest and feed about 1 lb weekly to my sohal tang, koran angel, and cream angel.

calurpa! I would manually remove it and sell it to local store or hobbyists. Maybe it's just because I live far from the ocean, but there is hardly any macro for sale near me. Think people sell this online for like $15 a bunch/frag.
