Weed issue

[cgj]

A piece of coral I purchased a few months ago had soem green weeds attached to it... they looked good. Over a few weeks time they grew slowly, gradually up the side of a rock... and they looked very good.
The problem is, they are now overwhelming the tank and are literally engulfing the rocks and I rip tons of them off every day and they grow back very rapidly...
What animals can I get to eat those? emerald crabs?

emerald crabs or a lawn mower blenny should do the trick

Do you have a photo, or can you discribe what it looks like? IME, there's no single animal that will eat every kind of algae, so it helps to know what you're dealing with.

Do you have any tangs in your tank?

sounds like a micro alage attack.

Pics would help but I agree with emerald crabs or lawnmower blennie and or a tang depending on kind of micro size of your tank and other critters living in there already.

10 to 1 that you had high nitrates that feed it.
10 to 1 that this weed problem won't lead to getting the munchies...
