Is there any reason i don't see many reef tanks with calerpa in the DT??? I have it growing in my refugium and love the look of it and think it would look good filling some voids in my DT???
It grows like a weed and very hard to eradicate. Many do not even keep it in their refuge in fear that it may migrate into the display. Cheato is a much safer solution.
And they will love you for it. My (former) purple tang decimated the Calerpa population in my main tank within a couple of weeks. It couldn't grow fast enough for him to eat it.
I wouldn't use it in the display. It has a tendancy to go sexual if not lit 24/7. I would keep the macro in your fuge. If you really want macro in your display their are much more desirable macros like Halimeda that you could keep.
It's poisonous, and very few fish or inverts will eat it that will live in a 55g tank. Do not let any plant root in your rockwork: it can take over, and crowd out any corals you hope to keep.
