Default Caulerpa Prolifera

Hi..

[...C. prolifera...]

Does anybody know where I can find some of this?



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


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.



I found some on ebay,
but it was XXL 15 inch variety which seems too big to me.



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


Does it make good tang food?


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.



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


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