(I have Grape Caleurpa and Rick has scared me. I have read and been told that it should be in a refugium so that a) it gets light 24/7 and b) it gets trimmed back often and easily. I am going to keep it trimmed back, but in my main tank until I get a replacement).

Walt,

Here's a search result for grape caulerpa. Happy reading.

Moral of the story, get a refugium (small) and keep a small light on it 24/7 so it doesn't go sexual and pollute your tank.

Dear Rick;
Yes, I know that grape caulerpa is one alternative (the obvious one). I wanted to know what are our other choices here in Bermuda?

I read about 20 links about grape caulerpa the last couple nites and have not come to a clear conclusion. Many say 24/7 light, many others say trimming and clipping, only a few say both. So, short of getting a "fuge", I am going to stick with in-tank and lots of trimming.
I would like to check out the plants more on the next collection snorkel.
