Decorative algaes

[beefchicken31]

are there any decorative algaes that can survive in low salinity waters ie high brackish? I read that Caulerpa can.

I am not trying this myself but im interested on the topic.

 

[beefchicken31]

also what are the most hardy decorative algaes?

There are quite a few that can survive lower salinity, and many that do well in brackish (like a lagoon or bay) areas. Acanthophora, Enteromorpha, Ulva, Gracilaria, Cladophora, Chaetomorpha aerea all come to mind as does the aforementioned Caulerpa prolifera.

widgeon grass comes to mind. It's pretty much a solidly brackish plant.
