Star Grass (Halophila engelmannii)

[acurro]

I recognize this thread will seem like a frequently asked question, but I have yet to read a post with a satisfactory answer to my particular question. I am interested in keeping the seagrass called Star Grass, Halophila engelmannii, after reading the wonderful article by Sarah Lardizabal in reefkeeping.com, but the websites posted in response to "Where to Buy Seagrass" threads do not seem to sell this species. Star Grass is a short, fast growing species, perfect for my 90 gallon reef.

Is anyone aware of a website that sells Star Grass (Halophila engelmannii)??

Take a look at my gallery, I've been trying to get an I.D. but have not come across anyone that helpful yet... However, you described it perfectly..."let me know"

Acurro: You may also like an article I wrote for Conscientious Aquarist, The Genus Halophila. I agonized a bit about mentioning these plants to hobbyists because they are in such short supply. There is only one commercial source for H. ovalis that I know of yet, H. decipiens may soon get a source, but no commercial source for H. engelmanni yet either. The only sources are from other hobbyists as of now. Seacrop is the source for H. ovalis thus far.

I also PM'd ya.

What does "PM'd" mean?

PM = private message. If you go to "My RC" tab at the top it will show you any private messages you've received.

Thanks.....
