Where to get 'true yellow' macro?

Ever since I saw the photo of 'Halymenia Floridana' on p. 136 of "Marine Plants of the Caribbean", getting hold of some has been my 'holy grail'. All inquiries to the usual suspects (Inland, Florida Pets, Gulf Coast, etc.) plus multiple LFS have come up dry (evidently this plant isn't very common even in its native range). Anybody have any idea where I can buy/trade some? I'd be willing to start off with the smallest-of-cuttings. Or alternately, does anyone know where to get hold of some other form/species of bright yellow macro?

Chuck, I have a small batch of yellow Gracilaria. The only problem is you need MH's to keep it yellow. I didn't put it in my tub with my MH's (too full) and it turned a reddish brown. If you have the lighting it will probably turn bright yellow again. I sell algae online through BENTHOS FARMS and as far as the yellow form of Halymenia floridana, I haven't seen any either, and believe me I check all over for rare stuff. I do have a similar red form I sell.
 
Thanks Oceanus. What's the site address? My browser found some references. . . but couldn't get point me to the site itself.
