    I've been trying to have some differnt types of caulerpa in my fowler and my tangs and angels seem hell bent on stopping me. I was hoping to get enough so that it would root and grow and still allow them to graze on it without completely eating the plant. I know there are some plants that fish won't eat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    you could try halimeda. Typically herbivores won't touch it because it has so much calcium in it.
