is it easy to grow in new systems..... reef safe?

 

[michaeltx]

any macro algae in the main tank can take over if its left unchecked. I wouldnt put it in the main tank if I could help it

very easy to grow, has the bad habit of going sexual and dieing off to reproduce dumping pollution back into your tank though.

oops. *S* all caulerpa act the same though, extremly fast growing, and can go sexual and die of though some species are less prone to it like grape caulerpa
