Selling some dragon’s breath macro algae (Halymenia durvillei)
Grows very well and has kept NO3 and PO4 at 3-5ppm and 0.02ppm in my tank.

$20 for chunks ~ 2-3” size, 1/2 the size of the 5” clump shown in photo.

Picture of the actual colony in the display tank. Seems to grow very well with 10 hours of high PAR ~ 300++
Natural food for tangs, they nibble on it from time to time.

Found a vid on YouTube supporting that this macro algae loves to be exposed to high PAR 500+ PAR levels

@nickng looks so cool, how do you keep it in the same spot? As i’m sure the display wave is strong

I just hang it partly inside a plastic basket that I cut out from the plastic containers used to package strawberries and grapes. The basket is held by magnets to the top part of the tank.
occasionally bits and pieces fall off because my yellow tang and Kole tang nibble on it.
Oddly enough the Astrea, turbos, cerith snails don’t touch it. Same thing with the other red algae called Atomic Broccoli( Augophyllum wysorii) that I keep. The tangs do not eat the Atomic broccoli.
