Every time I harvest my macro algae in from my refugium and see pods scurrying all over the place.  I rinse it in the tank as well as possible, but I'm sure I'm throwing out quite a few pods.  Just wondering if anybody has found a different way to do this?  Thanks!

Before I harvest, I have a little talk with my tank. I say "alright you guys, you know that I have to throw away some of this fine caulerpa because it's overgrowing my Candy Coral frag or my young Pagoda Coral, or whatever. Then I give them a choice just like I give my teenagers. They can either scrounge their living in the garbage or do what I say and live to see another day in their nice home.

And just like my teenagers, sometimes they listen - sometimes they don't!
