Back when I first started my tank out, my LFS sold me a piece of LR that had some plant growth on it. According to them..this was a desirable item for your tank. Being a newbie at the saltwater hobby..I believed..hook, line and sinker.
It turned out to be sawleaf calpura. It is a nightmare. I am forever trying to keep it culled a bit so it doesn't overtake the tank, and my corals. All of my beautiful LR is covered with this nuisance! It's difficult to get rid of, because if you don't get every strand of the plant, when you pluck it...it will land somewhere else in the tank, and attach itself, and grow from there!!
I'm at my wits end here..Is there any fish that will eat this plant..or something I can do, to try to reduce it's growth rate? My tank is really starting to take shape now..I have some great coraline growth starting etc..but the first thing you notice is this damn plant!!
Can someone PLEASE offer some suggestions?
