When Macros go sexual it’s not always a bad thing - seeing how dark green the Caulerpa is, I’d say it’s more likely to be happy. How quickly is it growing? Generally Caulerpa shows new growth within a day IME. If this is the case, I wouldn’t worry massively and just keep an eye on your nutrients - if they bottom out you will often end up with macros going through nutrient cycling.After a few weeks of owning this little desk tank this culpera developed this wrinkly ball attached to a leaf stem. I thought nothing of it writing it off as maybe some cancer or issues developing, but I caught it releasing what appears to be gametes, but I am not seeing any other signs of stress. Water parameters are nitrates at about 8 ppm, phosphates at .1, no ammonia to speak of and the dregs of diatoms slowly dying off.
