That's amazing looking! I'd love to get a frag of that.

Is it actually a macroalgae? It's difficult to tell from the pix.

It is pretty amazing looking....that is why I haven't yanked it yet. Other than getting larger it hasn't spread to other parts of the tank either. Sure I'll sell some....looks like I'll have plenty to get rid of. As far as I can tell there is no skeleton. It seems to be attached to the goni.

I would try to lean a rock next to it to see if you can get it to attach. You could have some serious trading power with that stuff!

try cutting off a small piece and placing the small piece under something like bridal veil netting held down with some string or a rubber band near the parent so that it's getting the same light and see if it will attach. If It does and you can start fragging some of it I'm sure lots of people would love to buy some or trade for frags. I know I would!
I'll be anxiously waiting to see if you can frag any of the stuff. Cause I want some in my tank! |

It seems that my list is growing pretty quickly, almost as fast as the algae! I'm surprised more people don't have any of this.
