Ooh la la! Any guesses on species? Or do I gotta go poking round algaebase again... I'd keep an eye on that snail in the second photo.. he seems to be enjoying the macro too. I lost a really pretty colony of Ulva linza this way.. seems that N. vibex thinks its candy.

hey sarah

no idea on the species but its a awesome macro. i saw it once at the lfs half a year ago but when i went back it was already gone. it was another species of the red bubbles. that one grew straight unlike this one. i couldn't resist this and bought it. don't even want to say how much they gouged me for. if you find the species please share i've been searching with no luck. this macro has lots of holes in it now after the pods and snails got to it. what does the ulva linza look like btw.

I wish I could show ya Blue! My vibex decided the cool macros I got were really yummy and ate them wholesale. Little brats! Hopefully your gorgeous red bubbly type doesnt meet the same fate. The Ulva linza had this neat twisted/spiralled appearance to it, nice long growth on the strips of algae, about 0.5" wide or so. And bright electric green was my favorite part.

I havent been able to find an ID for this algae.. I wonder if Kevin our mod knows.

The red one(Scinaia moniliformis) is grown very well.
