phobos2deimos Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hi guys, have some extra of both my Portieria (harveyi?) AND Blue Scroll (Padina sp.) macros. $20 shipped via USPS Priority. You will receive a 2" branching portion of the Portieria and a 1" portion of the Blue Scroll, all taken from the exact colonies in the pictures. (Camera is at work at the moment, I don't have any WYSIWYG type pics yet) These both do well in moderate to high light and moderate to high flow. You'll get the intense blue coloration in the blue scroll under intense lighting with good blues. As you can see this Portieria is pretty awesome, different than others I've had before, looks a lot like a weird gorgonian. Both macros are easy to anchor via glue, zip ties, rubberbands, etc., and will attach to live rock within a couple of weeks. As with other macroalgaes, your tank will need at least some nutrients (nitrate, phosphate) for this to thrive. If you have enough macroalgae, you won't even need a skimmer! These pictures were taken in my tank under cheap chinese LEDs and are not misrepresentative or oversaturated - from the top down the blue scroll really is that crazy blue, even with the daylights turned on! Once established, the Portieria grows at a moderate speed and the Blue Scroll grows quite quickly. If it doesn't survive the shipping (completely translucent, melted, etc.), get me a picture within eight hours of delivery and I'll ship a new batch ASAP. (and I'll pay for shipping). Please note that the Blue Scroll will look totally brown upon arrival - this is normal. It will color up again as it gets accustomed to your tank and lighting, and your lighting will have a big impact on the intensity of its color. Extras are always included! Thanks for looking!

phobos2deimos Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Any mammilaris? Yessiree, you were next on my list I don't have a pic at the moment, but I can do about a baseball (probably more?) size of mammillaris for $20 shipped USPS Priority. Once I get home I can snap a pic and get a better estimate. Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Still got some left? I'd love some of the blue scroll, portieria and mammillaris! Link to comment
phobos2deimos Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Still got some left? I'd love some of the blue scroll, portieria and mammillaris! I'm all out at the moment, but will probably have more in a few weeks! Link to comment
Newtybar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm interested in the next batch. Just wondering, is this tang safe, will they eat this up? Link to comment
phobos2deimos Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm interested in the next batch. Just wondering, is this tang safe, will they eat this up? Probably not, although it depends on the tangs. Some won't touch it, some will devour it. My experience (through a fellow hobbysist's 300g full of tangs) is that very large tangs will eat *everything*. My small blue tang only nibbled on most stuff without really destroying anything. I'd put most in the fuge, and some in the tank, just so you have a backup in the fuge in case the tangs decide they like it. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm all out at the moment, but will probably have more in a few weeks! Ok, that's actually even better! I want to have some macro in the 12 long i'm setting up - which isn't set up yet! But I didn't want to miss out. Link to comment

Newtybar Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Got any available yet?! these look awesome. Link to comment
phobos2deimos Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Got any available yet?! these look awesome. Not yet, had a few DOAs with this heat and it's been chewing up my available macros. Been focusing on other stuff too (I have about a 1 sq ft mat of Blue Ochtodes that is going to town!) and haven't made room for the Blue Scroll or Portieria. BTW I like your 65! Very nice.
