Squared Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 i am no expert...i just keep what looks pretty. this stuff looks cool but its rhizoids go everywhere, and are more difficult remove than say c. prolifera. Link to comment

Subsea Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 It looks like C. Prolifera. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 How about some closer pictures of the rhizome and rhizoids? I would also have said C. Prolifera in a higher flow environment to where it's gotten a little curly based on the photo. Link to comment
D3monic Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 yea looks like a really dense form of prolifera Link to comment
Squared Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 i also have c. prolifera, this is very different. the blades are only an inch and a half tall max, and it turns white-ish under hight light. Link to comment
D3monic Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hmm googling I came across my old 75gal macro tank and apparently I had the same stuff that was only identified as a short leaf prolifera but that's not very valuable info. Maybe Russ at gulf coast would know. I'm thinking maybe caulerpa brachypus parvifolia there's a few german images that look strikingly similar https://www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/tiere/3773_Caulerpa_brachypusfparvifolia.htm Link to comment
ajmckay Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 In größeren Becken kann man einen Pfaffenhutseeigel versuchen, in ganz kleinen Miniriffen sollte man die Alge vorsichtig entfernen, ohne sie weiter zu verteilen. Looks like cool stuff, but damn, if it's grip is even stronger than c. prolifera... Link to comment
