Grape Caulerpa

[afss]

I noticed this morning shortly after the lights came on that some of my caulerpa was spewing a light green slime from some of its grapes. I assume this is some sort of reproduction

. If it is is it harmfull in anyway? If its not what is it?
Thanks
Scott

Yes,your algae is going sexual. It occurs for many reasons(so we assume). Lack of light or pruning. If it is a large batch you could have o2 depletion problems. If it is severely clouding the water I would do a water change. I would also make sure I have adequate surface tension.

Also,the algae usually does this it night or during darkness when your tank is at it's lowest oxygen concentration.
