Can anyone ID this algae? Scale is inches. I've been seaching for an ID for a long time. LFS no help. It came in on FL LR, not evident at first. Very attractive but very agressive. Yellow tang won't eat it. It is smothering corals. Foxface rabbit fish suggested as control but I'm afraid of getting stung. Could it contain a predator repellent? No way to remove it all by hand. TIA

Within my algae page, look at the algae identification link(s) and you should be able to find it. I also would not worry about being stung by a rabbitfish (foxface) as you would have to grab it bare handed to do so, it just swimming around in your tank is not going to pose any threat to you.
