keydiver Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 a couple months ago, I saw a bunch in the lagoon near my keys house. I was going to grab some but forgot, and next time I went, algal succession had already occurred and it wasn't there. From my understanding, it an easy macro that will come back from nowhere even if it completely melts away Link to comment
johnmaloney Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 the problem with it is you need the holdfast, and you have to luck out and find it on a non protected substrate. it usually grows on protected live rock rubble. very abundant, but nearly impossible to collect. You would probably have to offer someone cympolia for it at the very least should they come across it. Link to comment

thecowkid Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Guilty as charged. I've got it. But i scrubbed the rocks and hope it will not return. Although I am almost sure it will return. My turbo is covered in it. He is next. Just for kix why do you want it? Link to comment

thecowkid Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Okay I have four frag plugs covered in this stuff. I had it in a cup of FW for 24 hours. I have since put it back into a cup of SW. It looked the same way as it did when I removed it from the tank. I am gonna keep it a few days to see if it stays fine. If it does, then some of it is reserved for you SBcaes. The other part is already spoken for. Link to comment

thecowkid Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It looks rather dull. I dont know if it would be okay. But if you wanna chance it your welcome to it. I think that it would ship fine w/o heat packs this week. Your call. It could be okay just bleached due to not being under the tanks lights just beside them. Link to comment

thecowkid Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Well its on frag plugs. If you want them you can have some. I know Adrian said he was out. Crazy guy said "I'll wait until if they grow back and get them fresh." I sure hope he is wrong. Link to comment
