ID Xenia please?

[stephish]

Does anyone know what type of Xenia this is? Also, what about the plant/algae on the bottom right, the one with the little grape looking clusters?

GRAPE CAULERPA is the algae
Purple Xenia elongata

Thank you!
The plant has really had me stumped!

In my opinion Grape can get outta control really quickly...... keep an eye on it and if it does, I would suggest pulling it.....

yeah that's how I got it, the guy that gave it to me needed to thin it out and the Xenia as well. The Xenia is actually growing around the Grape, like attached to the individual stems. I put it on the open side of the tank where I can get to it easily to keep track and "prune" as needed.
thanks again!

Tangs LOVE them, so if you can get one, they will eat it up, but make sure your xenia is off of it and on a rock, cause my nibbled a xenia on some grape until it was all gone

thanks for the tip! I only have a 20 so I won't be getting a tang, at least not until I upgrade.....
