[rbla51]

Hitchiking. I am curious as well.

Will fish eat it?

 

[brackish10]

Yes. My tang and coral beauty devoured it. My clown however left it alone

Do you want fish to eat it? Or did you want the macro as decoration?
Also what kind of look do you like? Big leaves or soft turf?

 

[Pigpen17]

Not sure what happened to the OP, but I am looking for both. I'm thinking of a mixture of seagrasses, C prolifira, (sp?), and some other, more palatable plants.

My goal is to have a nice looking display that is also somewhat self sustainable with plants and pods. I am going to get this established and growing before fish.

Also I should add I have a Midas Blenny in there now, who probably won't touch the stuff, I have no intention of housing Tangs (tank size), and I have plenty of green hair on my rocks.

I have been looking at some fish who are grazers though. Multibar Angel for one. Also, if this dispaly could help control phosphates as well, that's also a plus.

I don't have a preference on size or shape. I just want hardy and something that clings to the rocks

It will largely depend on what fish and inverts you have in your tank. That will limit the species of macroalgae that you'll be able to have.
