Is Caulerpa Macroalgae DANGEROUS In A REEF TANK?


In this video we take a closer look at Caulerpa macroalgae and discuss whether it is a dangerous as people claim it to be. I have kept many species of caulerpa in my marine tanks and they do occasionally melt or "go sexual". However this process normally doesn't cause many issues in an aquarium and also is very easy to spot because the algae will go translucent before it does.


Macroalgae has many benefits to a reef tank and these will outweigh the negatives. Caulerpa is one of the easiest to obtain and also the fastest to grow, as such it removes nitrates and phosphates faster than anything else.
