Beautiful red bubble macroalgae Nemastoma Sp.

[phoenix20]

Does anyone have this stuff? Anyone have any experience putting in into a display?

Is it sexual? I think it looks beautiful. If it performs nutrient export, thats a bonus!

If you have any, I'd love some of it.

It seems to be Nemastorna Sp.

I did have some of this in my last tank, it was attached to an elegance coral. It seemed to actually have a life cycle where it grew large, died, then smaller colonies would grow, die, and so on.
It was a fluke it was ever in the tank in the first place. I sold that tank to Gary (GaGuy) you might wanna check with him to see if any survived.

I wouldnt recommend putting macros in your display as they can grow really fast and over take corals. If you do just make sure you trim it back regularly.
