Straight outta... the Gulf of Mexico. (ID please) :)

Hi ID Experts! Thank you for taking the time to look.

Here's something that we found last weekend while at the beach. (Lido / Sarasota - Gulf of Mexico)

I added it to my main tank, but now I am second-guessing it since some responses to my OTHER POST about macros that we put into my Son's new tank have me worried.

Any idea what this one is? It's tall and stringy, with little balls every few inches.

looks like sargassum.

Thank you! It's amazing the knowledge here and the willingness to share.

Eventually it'll detach and float to the surface so might want to keep an eye on your pumps and overflow.

Hey Jesse! Just wanted to say hi neighbor! I have a place in Sarasota and Punta Gorda. Lido is a beautiful beach. I have many clients out that way and I'm after quality is a recurring issue. I would definitely QT anything I put in my tank. Best wishes. Keep us updated.
