that stuff is really well known for taking over tanks, luckily it USUALLY only spreads upwards, so you can kinda isolate it and control its growth, as for plucking it off, if you leave even a tiny sliver of goo, it will grow back quickly. as for selling it??? if you can find someone that wants it, yes, no prob, but dont get greedy, it really isnt worth much, attach to a small piece of live rock rubble with a rubber band or a piece of string tied around it loosly to hold it in place till it attaches.

thats what i use to do too, untill i finally got tired of it, pulled the rocks it was growing on and took it to a lfs for very little store credit. i do like the stuff, but id have to find a way to really limit it before putting it back into a tank of mine.

Prune it frequently and keep it to those four rocks if at all possible.
