Cheato has morphed to another plant. Need ID

grape caulerpa has a negative reaction ( chemical warfare ) with sps's

 

I've read that but I have never had a problem with it.

 

i use it and it does ok no problems yet

 

I'll let you know if anything happens.

 

Hmmm i don't want to be picky here - but i always thought algae released oxygen and absorbed CO2?

 

Visual update

Here is 4 pictures that I took of the refugium. After the first picture I scraped off the glass to get a better look. Can anybody out there tell me how it's looking? I'm new to the refugium so all this can be a little scarry. Things are really growing in there. My gosh I can't beleive what's happened in only about two weeks since I put the cheato in there. You can see the grape culerpa and red slime is building. I've been keeping the lights on reversed cycle. I'll take any feedback you have out there. Thanks.

 

Looks like a well functioning refugium to me!

 

Thanks for the encouragement. I feel better now.

 

Update on fuge

Things just seam to keep growing in the fuge and it's scarry. I hope the red slime doesn't go into my display tank.
Question: Should I cut back the grape culerpa or trim up the fuge? It's getting ugly. I threw in an aquacultured Florida Live Rock in there.

 

Its not supposed to be pretty. I just rip half of my chaeto out of my fuge when it fills up. Yours hasnt filled every corner yet. You have time =)
