Wow... That's rad. Is this something commercially available to the hobbyist?

Marinefauna-cebu has it as turbinweed, but I have no idea how to order. Guess you'd have to buy wholesale amounts of stuff. (Unless Mr. Barr is planning on doing some culturing )

nice specimen, tom! I had collected some of those in a local beach before, but sadly it didn't make it. somehow, despite its very hardy stems the blenny still managed to eat it.

It's fairly common. No, not commerically available, very few species are, you must collect your self and also learn to culture.

Culture is about the only real method that will allow these to be kept in the hobby, an area very poorly understood by marine aquarists.
