Came home from vacation to find these grass type and circular plants coming out of my zoos rock.
Any ideas?

It's hard to tell from the pic what specific type, but it is caulerpa. You don't want it to take hold in a tank, because it is quite aggressive and difficult to eradicate.
Pretty zoos!
What do you do do keep it in check?

Pull it out...some tangs will munch on it....but I have just pulled it out....
Thanks!
This tank is my 12g Nano Cube, I have 3 Astrea Snails, and a CB Shrimp, no fish and don't plan on having any in this tank. So are there any inverts that might munch on it though?

If you can identify the specific type of caulerpa, there are lists of animals that will consume them at the bottom of the page.
