Cool Macroalgae?

[Azedenkae]

Hey guys.

I'm in the process of setting up my tank again after a month away (see my tank journal here).

I am planning to make it a mixed coral/macroalgae tank. It is a pretty small tank too, so can't get something too big.

However, I am not too familiar with macroalgae. Any suggestions? Preferably something red? And obtainable in Australia?

Do you know its scientific name? I've been trying to find it in Australia but getting mixed results.

Thanks a bunch! It is settled then.

I am totally getting this.

Well I was gonna get some Dragon's Breath, but the supplier didn't have any.

I did find some red macroalgae washed up at the beach though. Added into the tank. Someone identified it as Gracilaria verrucosa. I'm pretty sure he is right, or if not, it is at least a Gracilaria species, but who knows, maybe you guys have other ideas. I have it posted in my tank journal here.
