Did I do something stupid?

[X the Outsider]

I bought some macro algae today to be more specific it's calerpa. Is this going to take over my tank? My new Emerald Crab was eating some of it, but I doubt he'll be able to eat it all. I was reading through the archives on this stuff, and it sounds like it's more detrimental than helpful.

Most people use it in their fuge.

The fuge is the best place for it, it will slowly vanish in the main tank.
