Fauchea sp... Not Dragons Breathe correct?

[ajespo85]

I was sold some red Macroalgae as "Dragons Breathe". It's growing quite well, but after doing a bit more looking into it, it doesn't look like any Dragons Breathe I've seen. I have searched the interwebs and found it to be Fauchea sp.. which is not also known as Dragons Breathe.. correct? The two are different right? Thanks.

Yes they are completely different.

Post a picture of what you have so we can take a look.

That looks like G. Hayi. Any macro with 'Dragon' in the name - don't trust it unless you see clear pictures. They are misidentified all the time.
