Caulerpa maxlcana (Sonder) J. Agardk. Locally common on tke algal 

 plain in 10 to 21 m depth. Reported by Taylor (1960) from 

 depths to possibly 110 m. During feeding trials, Pomocanthus 

 arcuatus ate this species, and Randall (1967) records P^. 

 arcuatus as a consimier. 



Caulerpa microphysa (Weber-van Bosse) J. Feldman. Common in open 

 sand areas , frequently in association with Acicularia 

 schenckii in 10 to 23 m depth. Reported by Taylor (1960) 

 from 9 to 110 m depth. 



Caulerpa prolif era (Forskal) Lamouroux. Occasional on the algal 

 plain in 15 to 22 m depth. Reported by Taylor (1960) in 

 depths from 1 to 110 m. During feeding trails , Pomocanthus 

 arcuatus ate this species, and Randall (1967) recorded 

 P^. arcuatus as a consumer. 



Caulerpa sertularioides (Qnelin) Howe. Occasional in sea grass 



beds, but not found elsewhere. Reported by Taylor (1960) from 

 3 to 110 m depth. Randall (1967) recorded the following 

 consumers : Abudefduf taurus , Alutera scripta , Eup omo cen t rus 

 f us cus and Pomocanthus paru . The queen couch , S trombus 

 gigas , also feeds on this species (Randall, 1964). 



Chaetomorpha crass a (C. Agardh) Kutzing. Found once mixed with 



Hypnea on the algal plain in 23 m depth. An uncommon species, 

 previously reported from shallow water. 



Clado cephalus luteofuscus (Crouan) Borgesen. Common on the algal 

 plain with Avrainvillea and Udotea in 12 to 23 m depth. 

 Previously reported from 14 to 72 m depth (Taylor, 1960). 



Cladophora sp. A small plant, epiphytic on Udotea , was obtained 

 from 20 m depth on the algal plain. Randall (1967) recorded 

 several fishes that eat species of Cladophora : Acanthurus 

 coeruleus . Eup omo cent rus f us cus , and S carus spp . , and reported 

 several species in the stomach contents of the queen couch, 

 Strombus gigas (Randall, 1964). 



Cladophora sp. A small plant, attached to a shell, was obtained 

 from 20 m depth on the algal plain. 



Cladophoropsis membranacea (C. Agardh) Borgesen. Occasionally 

 found mixed with other algae in a bed of sea grass 350 m N. 

 of the habitat in 14 m depth. Elsewhere usually intertidal.
