    I'm NOT trying to dump on this thread. Just to relate MY experience with feather calurpa. This stuff is insidious. I can't get rid of it in my 55, and it's proving to be a difficult one to clear out of my big fuge. Unlike Chaeto or razor caulerpa, the roots are tough and grow into the rockwork, seams of the glass, etc. In my fuge, it grew in mats, choking out all of my other macroalgaes.

    When I set up my daughter's planted nano, I used only razor caulerpa. It looks great, and I can thin it out in about 10 seconds.

    So, before introducing it other than into a tank with tangs, make SURE this is what you want.

    That being said, you are welcome to calurpa!

    The tank is not connected to the main system so im not to worried about how fast it grows etc....... It just want to feed it to them for nutrional purposes and when im on trips...
