Caulerpa lentillifera

Caulerpa lentillifera (False Grape Caulerpa)
False Grape Caulerpa is a beautiful, bright-green macroalgae featuring small, round bead-like fronds similar to Caulerpa racemosa, but more compact and dense. Its tidy, uniform growth and vibrant color make it an attractive choice for macroalgae displays. Fast-growing and hardy, it’s excellent for nutrient export - but like most Caulerpa species, it can spread quickly and requires regular trimming to keep it under control.

Care Guide:

• Light: Moderate to high

• Flow: Gentle to medium

• Placement: Rockwork or substrate in macroalgae-specific tanks

• Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate (with maintenance)

• Growth Rate: Very fast grower

• Benefits: Strong nutrient export, hardy, compact grape-like structure

• Portion Size: Small clump or runner section per order

⚠️ Important Notes:

• May become invasive - trim regularly to prevent overgrowth.

• Due to state regulations, Caulerpa lentillifera cannot be shipped to California.
