One of my seahorses in a bed of Caulerpa Prolifera. It grows fast and is beautiful.

I'll add a couple of mine in for good measure:
Green Ulva and Red Agardhellia (both of which I grow in my tanks)
Not sure what this is, but I got rid of it when I realized those little bumps were like sticky pads - attaching itself to everything:
I also grow Red Graciliaria Hayi (but don't have a pic yet...sorry)

Thanks to Adam Blundell, who loves marine algae so much that he actually ate it on TV, for pointing us to this AWESOME MARINE PLANT website.

This is probably a dumb question but is all of this algae good or is some of not good for your tank? Is it all considered macro algae? How do you know what's good and what's not?

I have this growing in my tank...I believe it is an algae maybe somebody can identify it. Ignore the hair algae.

I would love to see these rated in some fashion regarding how aggressive they tend to be and also how messy. I say messy because my experience with some FW plants was they were constantly breaking off in small peices and ended up in large amounts in my filters.

For anyone in utah county I've almost always got some extra Feather Caluerpa if you want it. I grows like mad, in my little refuguim I have some feathers that are a good 8" long. Just let me know if anyone want some.

Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?
Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

I have tried to ID the species I have on my webpage but ID'ing them is guessing at best. So many alga species are so similar, I am not even sure that what we have thought to be C racemosa really is! I have 3 that are so very similar. To ID them somewhat accurately, we need to evaluate their internal cell structure!!! But, there are quite a few pics on my page, for those who like algae pics!

I have found the genus Bryopsis to be one of the most delicate of all the algae species I've tried to grow. It just does not compete with the stronger types. I know that is maybe contrary to popular belief because so many people have trouble with it, I think mostly because it has few predators? I think it is too bad, because it is pretty, with it's delicate texture. It would look cool as a foreground plant.... Here's a couple of major competitors: C. serrulata the green razor Caulerpa species actually grows in my tank with 3 large tangs! But, if I leave their mag float empty for meore than a day or go away for weekend, they do pick at it.... If you look closely at the Chaetomorpha (maybe) species that this juvenile seahorse is peeking at, in the bottom pick, it is going to be my new foreground plant. It actually gets a plume when it gets a bit larger! It is a slow grower but worth the wait? I think it is gorgeous!
