Well this picture was taken a couple months ago now the stuff has grown so much that it completely covered one side it doesnt spread outward but up, like a tree. I just took a huge peice out and sold it to the LFS for $15. The owner seemed pretty happy and told me to keep bringing it. I just want to know what IT is. Thank you!

I would also like to get some if you come up with extra and we can arrange shipping. I can buy or swap for something.

Thanks that seems right if they have a florida version, thats where the rock came from. It will probably take 2 months for it to grow back enough to trim it again. Just send me a message in two months if you remember and I would be glad to send some to you. Ill also try to get some recent pictures. Thanks for the replys!

I have some of that! It grows really slow for me, though.

yep i've got some too. i've seen it sold as red grape caluerpa (it's not caluerpa at all though), red kelp, and a couple of other names. i like it though. it does grow pretty slow for me as well.
