Free halimeda!

[Delphinus]

Fellow Calgary reefers: my ritteri told me that the halimeda was encroaching on its territory, and asked me to prune some...

So, I have just pulled out some massive clumps of halimeda. I have waaaaayy too much of the stuff and it does not fit in my itty-bitty refugium.

Who wants some? The catch is, come and get it.

The stuff does not transfer well when it is pruned. This stuff I just pulled out, is actually not pruned: I just pulled entire clumps, it is sort of rooted in itself. So this stuff stands a pretty good chance of a successful transfer.

Halimeda sp. is a calcareous macro-algae. You can find a picture of it here (or do a search on google or any of the boards).

Ok, I just thought about it, and, there is a second catch. Any worms, mini brittle stars, pods, and snails must be well-taken-care of! If you end up discarding the algae, please save all the creatures that live in it. This is what I would do if I was going to flush the algae (a single copepod lost is a tragedy.. yes I AM a bleeding heart. Thank you very much!). But anyone who wants the algae is welcome to any of the hitch-hikers.

Let me know. I can't keep the stuff indefinitely..
