Caulerpa Serrulata - Sawtooth Algae
This species of Caulerpa features small, irregular branched uprights with a series of flat serrated blades. It is fairly common in the aquarium trade and is often used as a nutrient exporter in the refugium. It is native to shallow water habitats, growing on small rocks and coral fragments. This smaller sized specimen is very hardy and will not grow too large in the aquarium. Somewhat palatable, it is mostly left alone due to its stiff composition.
