We need a sticky thread for this question!

Thing that seems to work best:
Repeated removal by hand until the infestation has been beaten back.

Things that some people report working well, others find worthless:
Rabbitfish
Emerald Crabs
Tangs
UV Sterilizing
Skimmer Upgrade
Water Changes
Kalkwasser
Lights off for 3 days/month

Anybody else have anything to add?
