i found like 20 on e bay about a year ago for like $3 a piece. the local fish store had some around phoenix for $10 a piece so don't pay that much just google it and keep looking. maybe get on e bay and search old posts and contact the people who have sold them before that live near the ocean because there probably just picking them straight out of there! good luck but i would never pay $10 a plant. also make sure your lighting is adaquate before you lose them. they don't need intense halides unless you want to grow and sell them your self. i should get into propagating them myself. good luck

good luck growing and sexually reproducing a 20 foot tall mangrove tree...

Caulerpa grows up to an inch a day (on all fronts) and has always been my macro of choice.

the PC macro of choice is chaeto nowadays though.
