I wish I could see that! My two fish are kind of indifferent to it. Do clowns and damsels feed on this?
I'm also looking for a green one that inhibits phosphates.

Clowns and damsels prefer a more carnivorous diet. Caulerpa racemosa and Chaetomorpha take up nutrients most efficiently in competing with nondesireable algaes.

Yes as James said your clowns and damsels will not eat it. We were talking about tangs (surgeonfish) that are herbivores. I keep my refuge full of it to take care of the excessive nutrients in my tank. I`ll pull a ball of it out to feed my tangs everyonce in a while.
