Wanted: Caulerpa prolifera and maybe C. crassifolia

Anthony, I dont mind getting some to you so you can ship it off to them, I'm just too busy to do it myself! hehe. After all, this is all the "spawn" of stuff you gave me years ago.

I have a couple other parties coming by to get some... but trust me... there is enough to go around. I will be home this evening and possibly tommorow afternoon....

OK here is how to ship plants (should work the same for macroalgae). I have done this a lot.

Take a plastic bag, put in the plant, put in a small sheet of wet newspaper or paper towel. You don't need a lot, just a moisture source to keep the humidity up, there is no need to ship the plant/algae wet.

You can send a small box with your plant by Canada Post 3-day express mail, mail it on a Monday, it will get there within 2-3 days, it costs $7.00. If you are really cheap, put it in a padded mailing envelope and mail it for about $2.81

If anyone has feather caulerpa I would appreciate some. Also any other strange or exotic algae, I am starting up a macroalgae tank.

I have some of this (feather caulerpa, I believe):

And this (which I think is Red Gracilaria):


Pickup in Okotoks. Sorry, but I won't ship.

I'm 99.9% sure that is Halymenia. They are similar but still quite different.

That's entirely possible. Every site I posted ID threads on has had a different opinion. All I know for sure is that it's pretty and grows very quickly, given the right conditions. It volunteered after I upgraded my lighting. Desperately needs to be pruned soon, so if no-one here is interested, I'll be dragging in a bunch of it to Colby at Elite to go with the other stuff I often sell him.
