Samala, what's this one?

Hi Samala,

I was given this macro algae for my refugium recently. It was referred to as red cheatomorpha. Is that correct? The texture is finer and the growth appears different to me.

Hmmmmmm. I dont think I'd call this Gracilaria, the fronds are too short in branching patterns than any of the Gracilaria in my books and such. Not to say that growth patterns tell the whole story of course. Lemme look it up tonight Melev. Try to give you a good candidate or two for ID.

Do you need a nice big ball of it, rather than such a close up picture?

Not sure where Sarah is. Her last post was some time ago. I suppose she's probably really busy being a marine plant expert and all. Would like to see her around again.

Wait a minute checked my user cp first. It looks like Sarah is back and she's been busy.
