It's leafy looking ,green and it looks nice but it's growing like wild fire in my display. This is going on in my 29 gallon bio cube. Should I pull the rock out and scrub it? I put about 10 torch snails and 10 hermits , but it hasn't put a dent in the growth.

Any suggestions?

up higher in the water close to the light it's bluish , every where else it's a lite green.

^ I'm leaning towards buying a yellow tang and letting him eat it up ,then moving him to my larger tank.

Is it mostly on one rock?

If you can get the rock out, do that. Scrub it as hard as you possibly can, put hydrogen peroxide on the areas it was growing on, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and put the rock back in. It is a very nasty macro for sure. Its hit and miss as to whether or not a tang will eat it. Foxfaces usually work better.
