need info on "red sea grass"

[Madmak]

Big Al's has a few of these I believe, they do just have them labelled as "Red Sea Grass" but Eli's description sounds pretty accurate.

That's where dad found it any idea as to what it actually is. Looks simmilar to a gorgonian. Any bright ideas out there. Sorry no pic.

Most red macro algae only require moderate light & water flow ( also depends on the purpose of keeping the algae e.g. for display, nutrients removal etc ). Any cheap or expensive T5 & LED light fixture will do a good job for keeping various types of macro algae except for the brown algae. The best way to keep macro algae is in a reef system ( still ok for some species in the FOWLR ) and to stay away from fishes like rabbit, big or small angel and tang. HTH
