what'a good macro for nano

[swims withthe fishes]

i would like a good plant for the 12 gal i am setting up. there will be only corals and inverts, a clown goby at most, and the tank has only 13w lighting currently. is there a good slow growing/non leathal plant for me?

also if there are any good books that focus on marine plants i would like to know about.

thanks,
chris

There's so little light, I think you'd better stick to some of the low-light reds. I keep two that thrive in very-low light. . . a nemastoma (I think that's what it's called), but that one's mildly invasive. And a slow-growing bubble chain (botryocladia) related to the 'red dreads' kelp you often see (also sold as 'botryocladia'; the long strands with tiny 'red grape' bubbles), except the one I'm talking about has no central stem. . . it looks like a string of balloons piled on top of one another. Most hobbyist who try to grow it fail because they hit it with TOO MUCH light.
