nope just the plain ole chaeto! Don't seem like many in this area use it much?? Good thing i found a couple people with some in the area. I'm getting my refugium set up and could use some. It's nice to find some good people in the area to trade/chat with.

Chaetomorpha is a genus of free-floating macroalgaes. It is not a caulerpa species. Chaetomorpha species are desireable because they do provide a place for microfauna to hide and they do not go asexual like caulerpa, dumping all the nutrients and toxins they have absorbed suddenly back into a tank.

JnS gave some to somebody in the Rochester area relatively recently, IIRC. I don't have any, as I don't have a sump and halimeda is about as fast growing as I want to deal with in my display tank.
