Caulerpa ID help needed.

Hi All,

Does the algae in the pic look like Caulerpa lentillifera or racemosa? I'm thinking lentillifera, but I need an experts thoughts.

And if lentillifera, where can I purchase it?

TIA.

Hard to say. It could be Caulerpa Racemosa Var. Cylindracea. I've seen very little caulerpa for sale lately. As the weather warms that will change.
