I've got quite a bit of this stuff that I just trimmed. It was just getting too big for my little hang on fuge. There are bristle worms; pods, and some little un-identified snails (these have never harmed anything in my tank, and I usually only see them at night) Also; Some grape calpura (spelling?) somehow snuck into my cheato. I dunno where it came from; but its there, and not too easy to seperate.

If ya want some let me know soon; I've got it sitting in a bucked with water; but I am not too sure how long it will last like that.

D: did you get that chaeto from me? i had some grape and feather in my fuge at a time. it could have hitchhiked in with the chaeto balls i was giving away.

Yep I sure did! Now, what harm can I cause if I broke the grape? I remember reading something regarding not breaking it...but I'm not sure.

Anthony said that it'll leech all the nutrients back into the water as it's a single cell algae. how much damage depends on the amount of caulerpa you've got an your system.

FWIW

Yikes! Well, I broke of a small piece of in while it was still in my fuge, but took it all out not too long after. It was mainly in one corner, so I tried to cut it all out of the cheato. This was last night; and my tank still looks great. I'l have to keep an eye on it.

I'm gonna toss what I have left; I dont think anyone will want it now.

Thanks Jeff!
