http://www.wildsingapore.com/wildfacts/plants/seaweed/rhodophyta/rhodophyta.htm this page may help.

Whatever it is, sorry to say it's not chaeto....

Ya, red seaweed commonly found here.... you can find them at East Coast or West Coast beach... mostly green color.. :)

if it is "Boodlea composita" Algae then it belong to Chlorophyta Division

Red algae and coralline algae found in our tank is under Rhodophyta Division

The division classification:

Or refer to Book "Aquarium : Lovely Marine Aquarium" Pg 30-37 for Marine Algaes and their characteristic. Or Book "Marine Algae of California".. :) Cheers and Happy Reefing

it is another type of green algae under Chlorophyta division, Should be "Codium reediae".

in General, it should be safe, although people claim most green algae will turn Asexual reproduction might contaminate our water quality... But I having some "Caulerpa serrulata" for many years.. grow and trim.. :) So far, no problem for me... But makesure, trim them when overgrowth.. to prevent overtake your corals or Asexual event..

But I believe Tangs fishes might interested in "Codium reediae".. rather than "Caulerpa serrulata"...

Cheers and Happy reefing....
