Not at the current time. I do cultivate galaxaura subverticillata however.

I believe I've had it before in my previous macro tank but don't believe it made the transition to the current tank

Amazing tank.
Looks like G. Mammillaris under moderate-low light. Under high light it grows in dense horizontal layers, and under low to moderate-low light it grows in thinner bushes. One of my favorite macros.

Thank you for the id. I have been looking in the subforum for some ideas of a Pico macro tank and that species caught my eye because of the color and form.

Glad to help. I personally wouldn't do this in a pico or nano unless you are very good on the upkeep. It is difficult to remove from rocks and grows pretty quickly. Propagates through "encrusting" (sort of) and broken pieces landing places. In my 70 I had a dedicated island where I let it grow and was very aggressive about removing it when it popped up anywhere else.

Somewhat similar in appearance and requirements is G. Hayi, which is absolutely excellent and very, very easy to grow and keep under control.

Here's a chunk of G. Hayi in my tank:

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I need to start my own thread asking for information.

New guy here! I love the look and functionality of the macro! I'm wondering if I might be able to add some to my tank. I have a Condy nem (unintentionally purchased) which I'm afraid will kill or hurt anything i put in there. Any idea if it would kill or hurt the macro?

It won't hurt macros. It's actually a good thing to have the condy nem in your tank first. This way it can wonder around your tank, without stinging other inhabitants, until it finds its home.

Ditto. Nems and macros actually work pretty great together, since macros will never overtake a nem and the nems won't sting the macros in their travels.

WOW! Where do you usually get your macros from? They are gorgeous, as is your artistry in the arrangement. I have just set up a 50gallon that is going to be macros, soft corals and Gorgonians. Where do you get your seahorses from? There are several on-line captive breeders/distributors, but I'm not sure which are the best?

I can't say for sure but he has not been active on any of the seahorse or macro topic that I frequent.
