A very popular species of Caulerpa<\/em> for refugiums and or display in the marine aquarium. It features long, erect, feather shaped blades that form a somewhat rounded tip. The coloration varies, but is typically a light green shade. This species grows very quickly and can be problematic in some reef aquaria, as it can quickly take over the aquascape. It’s palatable to many fish and inverts, so is an excellent choice as a food source because of it’s fast growth. It prefers to grow on rocks and hard surfaces rather than sand, but it’s quite adaptable to grow in almost any environment. It has an interesting habit of climbing up the sides of an aquarium and rocks as a vine would. Sertulariodes<\/em> is one of only a few species of Caulerpa<\/em> that typically grows close to shore, but can be found growing sparsely to depths of about 50ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
