pruning caulerpa mexicana

[cybertomtbcb]

:bum: This may sound silly but how do you prune or trim caulerpa mexicana. I recently planted it (2weeks)I have it growing in a hang on refugium and the tops are a little brown on a few blades can I just snip the ends? When it's time to remove some because of overgrowth do I just rip it out of the miricle mud, cut it out or again trim the tops only.
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to matter how you trim it.
Caulerpa is coenocytic (each specimen is a single, multinucleate cell), and is programmed to quickly glomm and seal up any physical compromise to the 'cell wall'.

Granted, just ripping it out can disturb the substrate, and/or upset any rockwork... so if that is a problem, then proceed with care.

Me I just grab and pull
