Plant ID, And What will eat it?
If Caulerpa is not considered good plant for refugiums,
which other are the best nutrient exporters? I have a lot of Gracilaria Verrucosa (red and green variety) in my refugium - they grow fast, should I be concerned with similar problems to problems with Caulerpa species?

_Caualerpa racemosa_ is a better choice or one of the _Chaetomorpha sp._. _C. racmosa_
dose not go sexually as much as other Caulerpa and going sexually is not a good thing. Here is some info on _Gracilaria verrucosa _. One problem with this algae is that is sucks up allot of Iodine, which is probably more a good thing than a bad thing. This also a great food and many of the food reefers use have/buy has this in it or want it growing in their tanks http://www.fao.org/docrep/field/003/AB730E/AB730E01.htm Boomer Want to talk chemistry ?

This sucking up iodine apply to red variety only or maybe to green one, too?
