Default Caulerpa

I want to add some Caulerpa to my main display tank if possible. If I have to Ill set up a refuge but I dont realy want to. Is there a type that doesnt anchor itself to the live rock and unable to remove like the Bubble caulerpa. I dont want it to become a nusance. Thanks

Some of the free floating seaweeds work quite well.
Although you could have problems with it getting sucked into your filter intakes.
I have some, but I'm in Edmonton. I suggest check your local stores and look for sargassum. It doesn't send runners the way caulerpa species do.
You could also try some of the many other red and green macro algae species that come in on occasion. Their growth rates are much slower but they still uptake nutrients and require minimal pruning(depends on the species).
Good luck

Halmadia (sp) looks nice and is easy to control. It doesn't spread all over and it is seldom eaten by fish. If you want some, let me know.
