Caulerpa Prolifera
 

Does anybody know where I can find some of this? I found some on ebay,
but it was XXL 15 inch variety which seems too big to me.

Does it make good tang food?

Hi..

[...C. prolifera...]
Does anybody know where I can find some of this?

I guess - sorry I know - in the Mediterranean Sea..! ;-)

Hmm.., caulerpas are _green_ algae but no tang..!

Does it make good tang food?

No.., see above-mentioned. Tried "sushi suplies"..? :-)

Prolifera is native to the Mediterranean. I thgink you mean Caulerpa
taxifolia (feather caulerpa) which is the invasive crap that has sprung
up all over the Mediterranean.

My yellow tang particularly seems to like Caulerpa racemosa... He also
eats taxifolia when I give it to him, but if he has both, he favors the
recemosa.

I've Never put prolifera in my tank, but I bet he'd eat it.

Yah. Nori works wuite well as tang food. (my ocellaris eat it too...)

Just to nitpick a bit here... (sorry)

You are supposed to capitalize the genus, but not the species.

It's "Caulerpa prolifera", not "Caulerpa Prolifera"

Yeah, I do tend to blunder into the scientific names. Thanks!

That Caulerpa is down on the tang list. Tangs like
the grape the best of all the Cauleras.
