SandJ September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 This tank was set up for two years before I purchased it. It has been set up in my home since March. Last month I had sea lettuce show up out of nowhere. Now this week I have found three other things growing. Looks it the first has been identified as Halimeda. The next looks to be Caulerpa...but how do I tell the difference between Caulerpa and bryopsis? No clue what the third is. Why would all these be showing up now? Thanks for any help!

davjbeas September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 You have the feather caulerpa. Once it takes hold in a tank its hard to get rid of. Bryopsis is more furry looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridetheducati September 10, 2015 Share September 10, 2015 (edited) Caulerpa mexicana and serrulata. Edited September 10, 2015 by ridetheducati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandJ September 10, 2015 Author Share September 10, 2015 Thanks to both of you! Of course it is on the back of my rocks :::sigh::: I was able to remove most of it. Will keep an eye out for more. Can this come in on frags? The last thing added to the tank was 3 frags a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 Yeah it can come on frags... One little bit is all it takes... I'm one of the few who love it and have it in my DT (though I prune the heck out of it) and use it for nutrient export... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 caulerpa serrulata is very desirable and is a slow grower. grow lots of it and sell it for $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
