Well, that was quick. I just got back from camping over the weekend. Looking in the tank, I see no Caulerpa Mexicana. None. Five days after planting it all, it's all gone!

Sometimes, when I get macros in that are in rough shape, my army of snails devours them, before they can recover. That appears to be what happened. I accidentally let it sit in my mailbox for an extra day, so it was a little iffy. Still, it's surprising to find absolutely none.

In an odd coincidence, the caulerpa that I removed months ago suddenly popped back up. It's not the one I wanted, but I guess I'll give a try. Maybe I'll get lucky with the Mexicana and it will pop up somewhere again.
