Hi all,
can anyone help me id this? is my 30gal sump/fuge. A specific species will help.
Part of the caulerpa family? it produces the same sap(white milky substance when trimmed), grows abt 1-2mm per day, shoots off runners- (grows like FW java moss). running 36w PL on the fuge for 15hrs a day, haven't gone sexual or asexual on me. come to think of it- haven't seen it go sexual ever in yrs.
As far a nutrient removal goes, it does suck up PO4 pretty well(something like 0.1ppm in 150gal of water) but very little NO3(not as much as feather caulerpa which i also use).

cheers
Brandon
