some type of grape caulerpa by the looks of it

 

[zombie]

Definitely grape caulerpa. I would manually remove everything you can get your hands on. It's good at removing nutrients in a sump with 24 hr light, but it will grow out of control and go sexual in your display.

I changed my refugium light schedule to 18 on 6 off and that's kept it from spreading out of control.

 

[MuralReef]

I'll just snatch it off and dump it in the sump. I'm running 24 hours anyway planning caulerpa in the sump anyway.

 

[MuralReef]

It's grown exponentially over the last few days.

It's grown exponentially over the last few days.

I throw away a gallon bucketful out of my 60 every week. It grows super fast.

Wanna sell some? Where are you located. Tangs eat caulerpa like crackheads.

 

[SynDen]

It's grown exponentially over the last few days.

It will do that, I throw away a few pounds of it almost every two weeks because it grows so fast. It does tend to go sexual from time to time, but honestly its not that big of a deal, just clean out the affected parts of the plant and your good to go.

Crackheads eat caulerpa???

 

[rhinojdm00]

I guess it may have been a poor analogy

 

[FinsUp]

I could see a crackhead eating caulerpa. Can't you? :rofl:
