it doesn't matter where its growing, but yes... if Caulerpa is not systematically "thinned" then there will be problems in time. Mind you, it is the old-growth Caulerpa that needs to be specifically "thinned" out (removing whole strands) and not pruned or cut... to stave off catastrophic events of vegetative fission or sexual reproduction and minimize the exudation of breaks in these single celled algae.
That all said, lets not get off track here, my friends. This is a phyto thread. Any OT subjects warrant a keyword search of the archives, and a new/seperate thread made if necessary.
kindly,
Anthony
