Macro Algae question
 
I bought some macro algae today and got one that I thought was a different type. The one I did get looks like calupra red in colour with red grapes. This is for in my Refugium. The one I wanted was a red leafy type. I have had calupra go asexual in my tank before so I'm not sure if I should take it back. Any thoughts.

I was able to get a picture, any ideas? Only thing I could find close in looks is Gracilaria but this stuff is straight stems with red grapes.

Thanks

Marcus

If you harvest regularly, you lower the risk of macro going asexual.

They also sell that red bubble macro here sometimes but they call it "red bubble or red grape."

you can keep calurpa from going sexual by keeping it lit 24/7 and pruned regularly. you could also grow cheatomorpha (cheato) as it won't go sexual, it also grows very fast.
