Doris has some Fern Caulerpa that she will sell for $5 a bag. She will bring it to the frag swap. If you are interested post here so she has an idea of how much to bring.
Fern Caulerpa is a prolific green macroalgae that looks great but can sometimes spread to quickly and overrun your tank without proper trimming. Because of this it is a better candidate for the refugium or sump rather than the display tank, unless you are serious about aquascaping. It will grow well under 2 watts per gallon full spectrum lighting or better.
The macro grows from a "runner", a common name for the root systems that grows along the substrate. The plants grow up from the runner. You can create multiple plants by removing the runner intact from your tank, clipping it in an area that is between two plants and reattaching the new runner to liverock or a different substrate. This macro can be safely superglued, or tied down with fishing line to hold it in place.
