    ya the Caulerpa peltata grows like crazy!! i cut it back every couple of weeks...it is mainly on the one rock and i plan on keeping it that way. i dont mind the lock of it, adds more color to the tank.

    is the red on possibly some really healthy Halymenia duchassaignii,

    And the green stuff looks kind of like Mermaid's Shot Glass or Acetabularia calyculus

    Hopefully John from reef cleaners will chime in here, I am sure he can tell you exactly what it is...
