    How do you guys put it in your tank? Just shove little bit under a rock or what? Is it good for a tank? I out some on a clip and my wrasse and yellow tang ate the heck out of it!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I would not introduce Caulerpa to my tank. I suppose if the tangs eat it, but if it takes hold in your tank and roots get into the rock work, the tangs may keep it mowed down but you will not be able to eradicate it without a lot of work.

    You should be careful....with questions about outlawed algaes in California. Just a recommendation, might be smarter to ask questions on a none local reef board. Just a thought.

    Even putting it in your tank for the tangs to eat, it can take hold.

    Thanks for the replies. I hope by just putting them on the clip it wont take hold in the tank
