Inventory time:

I figured out what everything was (not the critters, a very odd worm is loose in there) and made a list finally:

Greens:

Acetabularia: it is melting back.
Caulerpa verticillata
C. sertularioides( a wee bit)
C. mexicana(a wee bit)
C prolifera
C. racemosa
C. cupressoides
C. Curpessoides "Tiny"
Batophora oerstedii
Dasycladus vermicularis(aka furry sauages)
Neomeris annulata (cannot find it now)
Ventricaria ventricaria
Valonia sp
Dictyospaeria cavernosa
Codium repens
Codium sp
Cladocephalus luteofuscus
Udotea flabellum
Rhipocephalus phoenix
Penicillus capitatus "Mini Trees"
P. dumetosus
Cymopolia barbata : my favorite green alga
Halimeda copisoa
H. discoidea
H. incraassata
H. monile

Browns:
Dictyota cervicornis
Padina gymnospora
Sargassum sp

Reds:
Halymenia sp.
Ceramium sp.
Laurecia poitei
L. intricata.
L. sp.
Eucheuma isiforme
Jania adherens(looks a lot like coral)
Galaxaura subverticillata
Amphiroa ridida (Looks like coral)
A. tribulus
Neogoniolithon spectabile
N. strictum
And Titanoderma prototypum

Plants:
Syringodium filiforme
Thlassia testudinum

43 plants.
That's a fair number. I'll weed out the less desirable ones later. I've had other species in addition to this.

I'm not certain as to why folks don't keep these plants/macro's except as refugium filter utility plants in marine tanks. They are quite suitable and nice in their own right.

"Cymopolia barbata : my favorite green alga"
Can you give the common name and description, or links, about of this one?
 
I doubt there are many common names for many of these.
I am unaware of any common name for this plant.
I'll see about some links for it.
