Toxic enigma Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Today I found a new fish store, that had a bunch of differant macros and corals. Being that culerpa and cheto can be hard to find around me, and anything else is pretty much impossible to find I had to grab a few but they weren't well marked. The first was just marked codium and the other two were just marked as macro algae so I was wondering If someone here can identify them and knows what care requirements they have.

Subsea Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Looks to me that both #2 & #3 are Gracilaria Hayi. Is it somewhat stiff, because Hayi is high in calcium. #1 is also a Red Gracilaria. https://www.marineplantbook.com/marinebookgrachayi.htm https://www.marineplantbook.com/marinebookgracilariaparvis.htm Quote Link to comment
