I usually have a fair supply of this stuff, so if anyone needs any, here you go. I'll try to get some pictures later on.

Caulerpa prolifera - grows like mad, I pull a bunch out every week. Great for nutrient export in a fuge

Chaeto - also good for a fuge, and will have some pods mixed in with it as well.

Halimeda - this is a little slower growing, I have it in my display tank, it looks pretty cool but I have way too much of it.

$5 each for a decent starter-size ball of any one type, or $12 for a good chunk of all three types. Add $6 shipping for priority mail.
 
Update: I now accept Paypal and RevolutionMoneyExchange. I actually prefer RME because I don't get charged fees like I do for paypal. And, if you sign up through the link below, I get 10 bucks so I'll throw in a freebie if you use it. :)



Oh yeah and if you're new signing up, you get 25 bucks free to your account as well, so you basically get lots of stuff for free. Score.


Alright, here's some pics:

Halimeda - portions will be a branching stalk probably 5-6" tall, maybe half of whats in this picture.

C. prolifera - portions will be ~12" of runner with lots of leaves on it

Chaeto - portions will be about this size, brillo-pad or slightly larger.

Thanks Grins.

For anyone who orders, please leave me feedback.
 
The leaves themselves get about 3-4" long, basically what you see in the picture. If you let it get out of check though, the runners will climb up the rocks as high as you let it.
 
Is there any risk adding these to a FO tank? I kind of remember something about them causing a PH change at night that can kill of fish.... Or am I way off? Also they help with phosphate removal too, correct?
 
I'm not sure about phosphate removal, or pH change actually. I have macro in both my main tank and sump, and the sump is on an opposite photoperiod in an effort to maintain pH, so I wouldn't be able to measure any change anyway. You might get .1 or .2 swing in pH, but I don't think it would be that drastic, and I don't think it would kill fish.
 
Still got lots and lots and lots....
