Tumbling bubble caulerpa

gramma royale · 09-05-2001, 10:35 PM

I just got a caulerpa racemosa cutting from my LFS today. Right now, it's in my Ecosystem 40 tumbling around because of the water flow. Is this OK for the caulerpa? Or is there some way to root it down or keep it from flying around? Thanks.

Tie it with some monofilament line or bind it with elastic hair ties to a small piece of live rock rubble. Soon, it will send out tendrils which will adhere to the LR.

I just put a small piece of rubble rock ontop of it...as long as its a fairly good piece of calerpa then it will grow out and like mentioned root onto the rock and eventually into the sand
