Just added mine from Algae Barn about 3 weeks ago. It's TRIpled in size. My nitrates are higher than most feel comfortable with, but the macros love it apparently.View attachment 3085250
I think it adds a cool natural look to the reef and also acts as a natural barrier between my euphyillia.
A month later .... I have a Tomini Tang and an urchin and they haven't put a dent in it.

Crimson seaweed: What is your experience with red macroalgae?

Red macroalgae is gorgeous and (at least in my case) seemingly elusive! Of all the types of macroalgae, I have found red macroalgae to be more challenging. Today let’s talk about your experience with red macroalgae – have you tried to grow it in your tank? Have you been successful? If so, please share your tips and we’d love to see your pictures!
