Almost had the code right It should appear as below. Tinypic actually has a part to select called "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and that is what you copy and paste here. The other option on your phone is Tapatalk, it will post a picture and resize it for you ect, just select the camera and then from gallery.

As for your pic...read up on Caulerpa racemosa

Get rid of it!!!!!
This stuff will go into asexual reproduction and will end up everywhere!!! Also beware. This stuff can out grow corals very quickly and smother them and eventually kill them if not controlled.

I don't have any experience with it, but have heard lots of people have great luck with a foxface devouring it all in no time.

It may look nice, but don't let that fool you. Extremely invasive!

Any benefit to sumping the rock and growing like other caulerpa, or should i get it out of the system entirely?

GET IT OUT!!!!

If you put it into the sump it will go into asexual reproduction eventually and release spores that will eventually populate your main system. When it does that, it's a real pain to get rid of it. If you can remove the rock. I would take it out, remove as much as you can with a pair of tweezers then even use a tooth brush and scrub around the area that it was growing on and give it a quick rinse.

I have it in my sump. I take it up to feed fish and urchin won't let it go until he eats it all

I ended up took a chisel and knocked the end off the rock where it was growing... Im dealing with bryopsis and hair algae and last thing I need is something else taking over my tank.
