Caulerpa flexilis is a species of seaweed in the Caulerpaceae family.[2]
The seaweed has a thick stolon with erect dark green primary fronds that are about 5 to 40 centimetres (2.0 to 15.7 in) long and 2 to 6 cm (0.79 to 2.36 in) wide.[2]
The species is found around much of the Australia n coast as well as in New Zealand.[1] In Western Australia, it is found along the coast in a large area extending from around the Abrolhos Islands in the Mid West, south as far as Esperance in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.[2] In New Zealand it is found along the coast of Three Kings Island, the North Island and the northern parts of the South Island.[1]
