Fern Like algae...What is it and what eats it..

Small fish or crabs/snails for a frag tank.

blue legs aren't touching it nor is my lawnmower. If i put the frag plug or rock from frag tank into DT...my tangs like it. But can't keep tangs in my 40g ffrag tank.

Picture is needed to be of any help. There are several species that look fernlike, some are real pests, others not at all a problem.

Google bryopsis and feather caulerpa for a start.

Bryopsis & nothing I've come across eats it.

Well my tangs are eating it. Doesn't appear to be byprosis. I will get a pic later today.
