Caulerpa near miami beach?

[GoblinFish]

Hello all! i wanted to add some Caulerpa or anything that looks similar to it to my 55G. Is there a location around Miami Beach where i can go and collect some.

Thanks!

Jupiter Inlet but it's the mexicana variety. I personally wouldn't use it.

I would be real careful about putting caulerpa in your display. I did with my first tank and once it grabbed a hold of my rocks, it was a nightmare to try to keep it pruned back. I had to kill it off by flipping my rocks over on the sand. Sad when you have nice purple rocks going. Learn from my mistake, please. Maybe go with some bottle brushes instead.

You see them in the stores (bottle brushes) on occassion. They literally look like an old style shaving brush. Real bright green almost like little trees about 3 inches or so.

Yeah, and that Xenia is borderline out of control too. That is something else that can really take over a tank if you don't watch your nutrients

id rather have culerpa than that xenia infestation
