Can some one please read the link below and tell me if it is the same as the common Feather Caulerpa we're using for our refugium.
Caulerpa Taxifolia

Caulerpa Taxifolia drives out most sea life, carpeting the ocean floor and using up oxygen in the water. The algae smothers fisheries and clam beds, and prevents animals from grazing on invertebrates in bottom muds. Corals, sponges and seaweeds are all smothered by its advance. A toxin in the algae can kill the microscopic marine organisms that form the basis for most marine food chains, and harm the eggs of marine animals.
