I'm not 100% this is valonia, can someone ID for me please!?!
Any advice on how to get rid of it if I need to.
I have trace nitrates and phosphates this maybe due to this algae but my params were that even before this stuff.
A juvenile emerald crab hit and miss and some species of tangs could help I've researched.
All ideas welcomed guys!

"Since there are no known predators of this invasive species, and I’ve tried several different small tangs, emerald crabs, sea hares, and urchins to no avail, under no circumstances should it be allowed to continue anywhere the aquarium!"
 
Got a One spot foxface rabbit fish (juvenile 2-3 inches) And has already started on this horrible stuff I bet it's all gone in a week at this rate, not too bothered about the gunk/spores that comes from them to spread elsewhere as I'm sure he'll get that before it gets chance to grow to spore stage :)
