that's a cool video. i read somewhere that california coasts are being inundated with caulerpa. i wonder if local biologists will employ this idea...

California spent millions of dollars to eradicate the problem, not sure if they actually succeeded completely though.

Can I borrow it for my tank? I only need if for one minute...

Oh wait, you still have to manually pick it...it's just a fast way for disposal once you've picked it off the reef...

2 isolated locations in SOCAL hardly equate to "california coasts are being inundated with caulerpa"

Mike is correct and it did work in the long run.
