I bought some macro from my LFS for my fuge and they gave me a handfull of 3 different types of macro... one of which was i believe Chaetomorpha (looks like knoted up green hair). He told me that the other stuff could go sexual. I heard the Chaetomorpha would not go sexual so I pulled the other stuff out and left the cheaeto. Was this a good idea and do I have to worry about it going sexual?
Thanks for the help

You have nothing to worry about. Cheato will NOT go sexual and is the best Macro Algea IMO.

Looks like Chaeto. Try to blow the red off with a turkeybaster if it is not part of the chaeto. If it is not attached it may be dieoff.
