Honestly, I gotta ask why? There are so many suitable macros available, probably free for the asking. With the crap I see along the shoreline, I wouldn't ever think of adding it to my tank.

they wouldn't live much longer than a couple of weeks. Need a coldwater tank, that means chiller to maintain about 50-55 degrees F.
I actually kept a barnacle covered rock in a sw tank ( about 15 yrs ago) and it managed to live about a month. Really cool to watch the barnacles open up and the tongues come out.

I would recommend against even trying. Unless you are very knowledgeable about the various seaweed species along the coasts and their various tolerances (there are some good books on the topic, I looked into this myself when I first got into the hobby) or unless if you are trying a coldwater tank. The problem is a lot of them can release enough toxins to kill everything if for example they get too warm. A few years back I found a really good book on the subject, I'll see if I can find it and post the title, it makes for an interesting read particularly if you're into finding out "what is this whatzit" that you can find on shoreline walks..

Thanks everyone, it was more just a question to see if anyone has ever tried it!
