That's actually Caulerpa serrulata, sorry I don't have any. I am looking for Nemastosa, Galaxaura, or whatever algae you don't find often.

Kataro--I just did a search on nemastosa and I think I might have that in my tank. It popped up maybe a month or two ago and has been slowly growing. I really like it a lot--it's quite beautiful

 

It fluoresces red under the actinics. It is also kind of plating--sort of like a monti. Im fairly certain it's some kind of macro at a minimum

 

any chance you could give me a positive ID on this bad boy? I just nabbed this 5 min ago under the actinics

I've got some red grape

Some maidens hair a small shoot of some green grape I've got some small red scroll some ulva and a couple green macros that I've been too lazy to identify

Link to comment

it's small--maybe 1 square inch

 

it started growing out of no where but recently it's growth has started to speed up

 

Im planning on setting up a frag tank in the next couple of months so Ill try to get it off the rocks and culture it in there.

 

I will absolutely keep you in mind but I have a feeling it's going to take several months before this thing is of fraggable size

Hi Everyone - I'm looking for some macroalgae. I really would like fun colors - red would be ideal. Or Blue. But really I'd take anything. I don't have anything to trade, but can pay via paypal. Thanks!

I too am looking for some macros for a very small pico tank (7 gallons) so if anyone has some that can put together a starter package I would love it. Also VERY interested in some halophila ovalis seagrass if anyone has any leads on that....

I ordered some halymenia (dragon's breath) from e-bay. Though I do not doubt the condition of the plant when it was shipped to me, the macro turned into a gelatinous mass within 24 hours of arrival. It appeared orangish color rather than red then lost its chlorophyl and eventually turned into a gellatinous mass and completely disintigrated. Does anyone have any information on this?

I find that when halymenia is under extreme stress, it will do this. It's not a nutrient issue or it would slowly lose pigment. It must have had a rough time in shipping (most likely the heat)

Hi! Do you want to trade a frag of your "mysterious" red macro for a big chunk of dragon's breath? Or if you're willing to sell a frag, I'l love to buy one. Thanks.
