What eats Caulerpa other than Tangs ?

I have a 20 gallon tank that I want to rid of all caulerpa and grow out Xenia, what can totally eat it all. Kinda scared of adding a Tang to a 20 gallon, seems inhumane. Of course I can put him in my 75 gallon once all Macro is gone.

You can try a Foxface. My eats anything that's "green" in the tank

Do they stay small ?

Nope. Once they start acclimated to the food you give them...they are trashcans... If you want to ultimately have the Foxface in your 75g, they can get pretty big.
