This particular species of <em>racemosa<\/em> features a dark green color with tall branches composed of long clusters of cylindrical shaped fronds. It resembles a bunch of bananas and is very attractive in the marine aquarium. Like most varieties of <em>Caulerpa racemosa<\/em>, it can quickly outgrow the available nutrients in a tank, so care must be taken to limit the size of each specimen by regular division of the rhizome. This species is not very palatable to most fish and invertebrates, although some algae eating fish will nip at the rhizome structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/banana2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90\" width=\"342\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/banana2.jpg 302w, https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/banana2-155x300.jpg 155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 85vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific Name: <em>Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Name: Banana Algae, Grape Caulerpa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin: Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth Collected: 4-25 Feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum Height : 6&#8243;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth Rate: Fast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light: Moderate to High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature: 72-86<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation: Fragmentation, Sporulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty: Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Value: Not Very Palatable<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;re many species of Caulerpa racemosa found worldwide.
