    Oh and.. What about emerald crabs? In Reefcleaners description, it says that they are "good at removing bubble algae, as well as other nuisance macroalgae like dictyota, caulerpa, and other complex macroalgae"

    I they are, then I can get 2 or 3 shipped this week. They seem much easier to keep than the aplasia. What do you guys think?

    Yes I would try them.Sea hares can be a pita.You must protect overflows or they will get stuck in them.I usually jam a piece of floss behind them but its a pain to keep replacing it.
