Botryocladia is a beautiful specimen that does very well in the marine aquarium. It features stiff, lightly calcified branches with bright red air bladders. It resembles a cluster of grapes and is sometimes referred to as Red Grape Caulerpa, although it is not a species of Caulerpa at all. Depending on the species, it can grow in rather large clumps attached to rocks and coral fragments in depths of up to 30 feet or more. It is very hardy and seems to do well in aquariums with good water quality and low to medium lighting. There are several varieties available in the aquarium trade, but identification can be difficult as they all have the same basic characteristics. | ||

Hey Patrick, nice to see that your tank is still thriving. I hope you are well. We are fine here in PA. My tank is doing well too. I actually have some beautiful red grape caulerpa in my fuge. It thrives there but I think the T5s in my display are too bright for it to do well there.
I can post a link to my google photos. Here is a pic of the red grape in my refugium. It is a nice bright burgundy, although with so many blue diodes in the cheap par 30 light, it's hard to see the color in its true brilliance.

Here is a pic of a small sprig in my display tank under the HOT5s. It definitely does not do as well. It grows in little patches here and there in the display. I should try putting it in a more shaded area and see how that goes.
