Heres one for you all. It came off my Fiji rock during cycling.

Thanks guys!

Is this the same thing you have?

sorry, forgot to post the picture. This is Scinaia Scomplanata

No, I don't think so. Mine is much smaller and the branches are MUCH smaller.

Mine is about 1" tall (keep in mind its a baby) so each individual string thing on the macro is like the size of a hair.

This Algae is a beautiful, where did you get it?
Thanks

It came off my live rock, AFAIK. Once it gets larger, I might be sending out frags of it to people who'd like it.

i would also like to be on wait list--i don't have a whole lot of stuff, but can try to return favor

Haha, I never thought I'd get such a response to something that came on my rock. It grows pretty fast IMO. I have no idea how hardy it is (shipping wise) and what not.

I'm adding a fuge to my tank soon so I'll put it in a pile of rubble for it to spread onto and I can just ship it with a little chunk of rock.

I'd give it a month or two before it spreads onto a second rock. It grows fast, but not that fast.
