One tuff (plant?)

Help me ID this plant algea or whatever it is. This thing nearly
over took my tank in a matter of weeks and was apparently some sort of hitch hiker. It grows look8
it's fed with miracle grow and steroids. It's long stringy and attaches with roots to anything it touches.

 

Here is another pic

 

It looks like some kind of caulerpa. Profusa maybe?

 

I agree some type of caulerpa.

 

So how do you control it? Is there a fish that will eat it? This thing is worse than kudzoo in my tank!!!!!

 

To control it, you remove it all from your tank by hand.

 

I have removed every single piece I could get my hands on but I know there are some of the roots down inside the holes of my rock.

 

i have this also in m 30 gal! its not spreading fast so im no too worried. it caulerpa of some sort.

 

there is a type of nudi for caluerpa. they are thinking of releasing it in the mediteranean.

if it is caluerpa that is.

 

Manual removal, then you still have to remove 100% of the holdfasts or it will grow right back. The easiest way to remove the holdfasts is a hand-held butane or propane torch.
