Haha! Me too!
Thanks for posting that pdf, hadn't seen it. I thought only c. taxifolia was illegal.
There's a guy on RC (in northern CA) who sells at least 2 of the varieties listed here. He's pretty open about it.
"California State Law: It is illegal to possess, transport, transfer, release alive, import, or sell
Caulerpa taxifolia, Caulerpa sertularioides, Caulerpa mexicana, Caulerpa ashmeadii, Caulerpa scalpelliformis, Caulerpa racemosa (and all varieties of C. racemosa), Caulerpa cupressoides, Caulerpa verticillata, Caulerpa floridana (California Fish and Game Code 2300).
City of San Diego Law: Bans the possession, sale, and transport of all Caulerpa species within city limits (City of San Diego Ordinance 18967)"
