Culpera Control. Which reef-safe fish and/or invertebrates should I use?

[wgowen13]

Culpera (feather-like) is starting to take over my tank. It came from a coral that I removed from the frag plug. I have a yellow tang and a few snails. None are taking interest in the culpera. Are there other reef-safe fish or invertebrates that I should consider? Other methods? I've tried removing manually but it is a pain. All parameters are within optimal range. Any assistance is appreciated!

I had a flame angel that lived on that, until he ate all of it in the tank.

Thanks for letting me know. Any problems with it nipping your corals? I have a mix of LPS and SPS.

I didn’t have much coral in that tank. The problem with that fish was he only ate greens, and the rest of the tank was carnivores, so he faded away after all the macro algae was gone

Here is good source for IDing caulerpas. Bryopsis also looks feather like. Let us know which one you have. I'm not sure bryopsis is eaten by angels. But I hear foxface and E. crispata (lettuce seaslugs) will.

Great source for macro algae types.

This feather algae is what my flame angel loved:
