caulerpa

I had bought this macroalga few months back, I always thought it was C. racemosa, but I noticed the difference in its frondes (stalk) that grow shorter than the C. racemosa image I found in the internet that had tall frondes sprouting from the stolons. Is it just individual variation or I had...

Hey everyone, Please see the attached videos… I need some assistance and guidance. I've been looking all over the internet and forums, but I can't figure out what this green thing is in my tank. At times, it looks like a fern shape, and at other times, it seems stringy. I initially thought it...

Caulerpa Verticillata maybe? If so, does anyone have tips on keeping it in check without it taking over (besides kill it)? It seems to be thriving even in brackish water.

The algae is green, i wonder if it's some caulerpa. I had some racemosa at the beginning but killed it (it bleached probably because of the lack of nutriments). Could you help me to identify this one?

Came across this caulerpa species and I'm having trouble identifying it. Best guess is caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea but it has a different shape than what I'm accustomed to. Any help is appreciated.

A little something something we have been working on in our macroalgae grow out tanks:

I have had my tank for a little over a year now and everything was great until about 2-3 months ago. I had a bad outbreak of GHA and got it under control but them it came back with a vengeance. I stepped up my game and reduced lighting, reduced feeding, increased water changes, aggressively...

Please share your experience and photos if you have them! I am loving this look and concept. Already ordered some red grape caulerpa I am planning on just keeping a simple soft coral tank so they should benefit from this environment, right? Thanks!

Is one of my Caulerpa chemnitzia (Caulerpa peltata) specimens going sexual? All of its blades are starting to look a little pale and splotchy. The specimen in question: Its healthy looking companion (and yes, I can see that Aiptasia):

Have you ever had something grow in your tank where you least expected it to? The is a piece of caulerpa that decided it was going to grow THROUGH a cabbage coral.

Hello all! First post here on the forum, been in the shadows for a while though. Nice to meet you all! I'm stocking a display refugium and this post is to a) show off, c) request specific IDs if anyone knows them, and b) find anyone in the Southern California area willing to sell, trade, or...

My cabinet is in the peninsula style, with doors on both sides of the cabinet. I obviously need a normal-sized sump, for protein skimmer, ClariSea, Return pump. But, next to the sump I could fit a narrow, tall tank to make a much bigger, taller refugium than I could have in-sump. For example: 7...

So I’m sure a bunch of you have seen @Bulk Reef Supply ’s videos on chaeto in a refugium and their graphs of nitrate and phosphate over time. Does anyone have anything similar for caulerpa? Or, anecdotal evidence for caulerpa to compare against chaeto in terms of phosphate and nitrate réduction...

Hi, I've been detailing my journey in my build thread. However, after inspecting my display tank today and not finding a single spot of caulerpa.. I can't help but be so excited I want to share this with others! Hopefully it can inspire others to overcome their periods of neglect, or face what...

Sump getting out of control need to seal atleast 7 bags. As shown there are pieces of red macros in the chaeto mostly red gracilaria, hayi and some others I have had caulerpa also so some might come with it. The size or portion is as shown bigger then a baseball or hand. Going for 18 shipped

so I been told and yes it does make sense because we don't really eradicate the source of the problem. Some said that they will come back in approximate 6 - 8 months; so at first you think you killed those jerks and be happy for 6 months, only to see it slowly creeping up again. What I...

Just a list of items I'm trying to thin out the tanks. The more you buy the more you save. If your not sure what a item is pm me for a reference.

I put some caulerpa prolifera in my fuge about two weeks ago, and some of leaves started going translucent and decaying. I don't know if it was exclamation stress or if it went sexual, but now there's a bunch of these little white whiskery growths. From Reading some articles I think that is...

Has anyone tried this? I haven't made the reactor yet (diy) but whenever I put cheateo in my fuge (high, low or medium flow) it always slowly dies off, but when I put caulerpa in it explodes so I was thinking of putting it in the reactor. Thoughts? I've never had a sporilation issue, but if I...

Im setting up a display refugium for my already existing 90gal mixed reef. What i'm having trouble with is deciding on a tank size and light that will grow Caulerpa, Halimeda, Penicillus capitus, ect. The tank sizes i'm looking at are 29 and 37 because i already have a stand 30in x 12in. Since...
