Sorry, but I have to disagree. If you look a little further down on that web page you will see that it more closely resembles Caulerpa Peltata.  It has rhizomes (lateral runners) and rhizoids (roots) just like all Caulerpa.------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

it isnt attached to each other they are little stems attached to the rock. they dont have a main root like caulerpa. ------------- Josh Zorn 45G reef lots of tropical plants Cell it 910 3924 |
