Refugium Help

Hey do anyone have macro algae ( Caulerpa ) that I can put into my refuge?

I would look for Chaeto (Chaetomorpha algae) instead. Slower growth, but no problems and it does the job.

caulerpa goes asexual given the right conditions and it clouds the tank up.im not sure if its toxic someone else can explain that.i

as long as you keep the caulerpa pruned, it's fine. i've been using a mix of macroalgae including various types of caulerpa for 5 years without issue.

as for a plant "going asexual", i'm not sure that's the right term.
wikipedia says:
Asexuality (also known as nonsexuality[1]) in its broadest sense, describes lack of sexual attraction,[2][3] or interest in or desire for sex.[4] Sometimes, it is considered a lack of a sexual orientation
