Very Very Old Picture of my tank that was once filled with Caulerpa prolifera. I was going for the seagrass meadow look, and I think I nailed it for a while.

@Steve and his Animals that looks awesome did that have any negative effects? Or did any tank mates eat it?

No negative effects. Cutting Caulerpa species back is usually very easy since it grows rhizomally across things. Nothing ate it, but I don't keep tangs so no guarantee they wouldn't.

I love my macroalgae display. Some issues you may encounter are an increase in nuisance algae due to the light and duration they need as well as tank mates eating the macros especially the green ones! Here’s my display home to a purple reef lobster and flame scallop. You also want to make sure you don’t bottom out your nutrients.
