    So after watching a tv special on killer algae they came to the conclusion of a slug that eats this stuff. The Sea Slug Forum - Elysia tomentosa wonder if anyone has had these or where they can get them at. Any info would be great

    Haven't seen them for sale in the aquaria, but they do go by a more common name of Hairy Sap-Sucking Sea Slug in some circles.

    If you have a caulerpa problem, i've heard that Pincushion Urchin, Hairy Colored is a great solution
