anyone want some? come and get it, its the green grape stuff, i am not to sure, maybe jim knows the name

[Quinn]

Caulerpa racemosa, grape caulerpa. And of course you mean macroalgae, ie. large. Caulerpas are the largest single celled organisms on the planet.

[kuatto]

or the technical name "green stringy stuff"(I know how much you love common names Qinn )

Matt,I'll take some if and when I get a chance over to your place.

Don't you have any fish that will eat it? Mine love the stuff, I grow it in a special area in my sump I set up just for that purpose. They eat it faster than it can grow otherwise. Maybe I should get some from you!

My Naso tang is the biggest pig.

[littleboyblue16]

yeah i like green stringy stuff, sounds good, i don't got alot, so its all up to you guys, its always growing so its not like i will never get more haha, and no i don't have fish that eat it i only got a 20gal

[Namscam]

my tang never eats those things...I have them growing inside my tank like crazy and no one eats them .

[littleboyblue16]

see i would love a fish to eat that stuff, becuase it grows crazy, but none of them can fit in a 20gal so it doesnt help much

[Namscam]

wut about a lawnmower ?? that might work in a 20 i think

[Quinn]

I would be suprised if a Salarias fasciatus (lawnmower blenny) ate caulerpa. I have met a few in my time and they've all informed me that they are not interested in large algaes. Not sure if this is a rule for the species though.

With caulerpa sp. often the best course of action is simply to prune the growth, either out of existence or simply to a more manageable level. You may be able to get store credit by trading it in at AI or Big Al's.
