Hardy and decorative, Caulerpa seemed a blessing at first, and it soon
became the most popular aquarium plant on Earth. The Monaco Oceanographic
Museum obtained a sample, and it was in the harbor just beneath this
institution-where famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau was the director at
the time-that Caulerpa was first spotted getting a toehold in nature. The
killer algae have been spreading ever since.
