Common name: Caulerpa

Caulerpa is a genus of green algae, notable for its use in marine aquariums due to its ability to absorb nutrients and help control nitrate and phosphate levels. These algae are fast-growing and come in various forms, from feathery to grape-like structures. While beneficial, they can become invasive if not managed properly. Caulerpa species often form dense mats and can be a refuge for small invertebrates. It's important to monitor growth and prune regularly to prevent it from overtaking the tank.
