>>Many macros will do this fairly well, but for me, given its propensity to GROW, Caulerpa would be one. However, know that it is toxic, ESPECIALLY if it goes into a sexual reproduction mode (caused by pruning incorrectly – do a search on the site for more), or experiences a die-off. Chaetomorpha is one very popular macro with which you don’t quite have the same issues.
