GOSKN5 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I got this in a trade about 8 months back and it has really grown... it started about golf ball size and now is nearly basketball size... picture is a 120 for size reference... I cannot remember the name of it?? Also, would it be consumed by a tang? I would like to potentially add a yellow tang, but I don't want it to be eaten. Trimmed would be ok tho haha... 1 Quote Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looks like a very nice Red Botryocladia. Tangs will eat most Macroalgae, though this one is a little tougher and doesn't have soft leaves, so I'm not sure how it would fare. Very nice specimen though!! Gorgeous tank, too!! 1 Quote Link to comment

I would have said Heterosiphonia gibbesii. It doesn't look like it has the seed pods on the branches that Botryocladia has. But I could be wrong as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
