I need something to eat this. my tank is a 37 tall so a tang is a no go.

Good luck with that... Urchin will take care of it (and usually bulldoze a little while they scrape off your coralline). I had a scribbled rabbitfish make a nice meal of it, but then it turned on zoas, then acans (then into a net while it slept). Razor caulerpa is some nasty stuff... I've pretty much eradicated it fro everything I have, but it took removal and replacement of rock, along with cutting corals down to just coral (no rock)...
 
The rabbit fish won't get a taste for zoas unless it's pretty hungry...that being said, once they get a taste for them it's not a habit you can break. It probably would mow down that algae though before it got to the hungry stage and then you have the added problem of getting it out of there.
Razor calp is a fast grower...you can almost see it sending out runners.
Good luck with the battle.
 
if you can take tha rock out for now. i would dry it out in the sun for a couple weeks then clean and place back. my yellow tang might but even thats a hit or miss. my yellow eats evenything green and brown.
 
"Sawblade" Caulerpa, it appears. The runners on that species will go subterranean in the sand, and "root" into interstices like crazy. You may want to remove the rock, rip off as much as you can, and bake it in the driveway sun for about two months, just to be safe.
 
I had a pack of emeralds clean it up for me, though I was ripping a lot of it out. It's gone now.
