I have this what I believe to be a macro algae growing with my yellow polyps, it is isolated to that rock for the time being anyway and seems to be growing slowly and is very stem like, the leaves kind of look like four legged starfish.
Can anybody ID from these pics ?
Caulerpa Serrulata

Here’s something that will eat it, but of course it has its own set of problems. So, if you go this route, I’d make sure you’re running a reactor with GAC and replace it when needed. Once it has eaten everything I’d try to trade it off to someone who can use its benefits.
Does anyone want it before I pull it out and throw it in the back yard ?

You should put it in the freezer for a couple of days before you dispose of it, to make sure it doesn’t spread.
Thalus sound correct. i keep a little of it going in a fuge. its a good macro for fuge. fairly easy to control, just by pulling its vines off the rock. sometimes commonly called Razor algae, because of the serated leaves.
