It can tolerate up to 4X seawater and is a nice enough looking plant. Zanichella is another, Potamogeton nodous, Hydrocotyle verticillata(look slike and is a type of pennywort).
You won't find these in the store but in lagoons near the beach/coast/upland lakes and ponds near the beaches/sand dunes. Zan and Ruppia are both grass like plants that have been found up and down the coast.

I imagine mangroves would work.
but i hear they are expensive
i too need to figure out what to put in my brackish tanks.
