    Any idea what this is? We noticed it before we left for a 2 week vacation. It was pretty small at the time, noticed only a couple buds. When we came home it had grown huge!! Not sure if this is a good thing to have?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Caulerpa racemosa I believe, very invasive. Remove what you have as thoroughly as you can.

    I agree with coralline it looks like caulerpa. Its invasive. Its great in your sump if you have a refugium but not in your display tank

    Is that something an emerald crab would eat?

    Definitely get rid of it. It covered everything in my last tank. I ended up taking the whole tank down after that.
