Purchased this macro recently from my lfs. They just said it was called Dragon's Tongue. I've heard of Dragon's Breath but this isn't like that. What is the actual name of this macro? It kind of looks like gracilaria tikvahiae or gracilaria parvispora but not exactly and I don't think either of those are referred to as Dragon's Tongue. Photos are in a recently started macro tank at home and a display tank in classroom.
