Wouldn't use caulerpa - it can mess up your tank. Use chaeto instead.

I agree with Gary !!!

caulerpa has been known more then once to go asexual and foul up good tanks

Cheato be the good stuff !!!

get a small mesh basket and stick the chaeto in it and turn it upside down on the bottom of the tank in a corner. That will prevent the tang and rabbitfish from getting to it. Plus it will give pods a nice place to hang out and populate.

Mesh would be porous so enough light should get through to allow it to grow.

I can send the ebay sized sandwich bags out for $10 shipped. That's using the USPS flat rate box.
