[It's everywhere. Does anybody know how to get rid of this stuff? I have it to plague proportions.

Thanks,

[I pick it off as I see it. Try to carefully not pop them, as they will spread spores for more if you do.

Emerald Crabs eat them.]

[Try some Phos-ex.(or how ever you spell it).]

[Picking them off would be impossible. I might try an emerald crab. I figured something had to eat them.

Thanks]

[I once read that only the emerald crabs with red in the joints of their arms are real emeralds, and they are the ones that will eat it. Not sure on the truth of that, but just a thought....cs]

[That may be true, but picking those off that you can reach still reduces the problem some. Get all that you can reach, and get the emerald crabs as well.]
