mogurnda October 2, 2015 October 2, 2015 (edited) I have my nuisance algae culture tank set up, and could use some more Bryopsis if anyone has a handful to spare. I got a nice mix of Bryopsis and Derbesia from der ABT, but the Derbesia has been winning this round. Although the slugs are currently green and happy, the E. clarki are still not laying eggs, and I suspect that adding more Bryopsis to their diet will get them in the mood.

mogurnda October 3, 2015 Author October 3, 2015 I think I'm missing something. I am asking people if they have Bryopsis that I can have. Does your post indicate that everyone has gotten rid of it?
mogurnda October 8, 2015 Author October 8, 2015 Still looking. Don't be embarrassed, PM me and I won't tell that you have an infestation.
DCReefer1964 October 9, 2015 October 9, 2015 I have some growing if you want it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
LCDRDATA October 10, 2015 October 10, 2015 I'm trying to remember how to distinguish bryopsis from other GHA varieties, but I've got one tank that's (unfortunately) got a bumper crop of something at the moment, and you're welcome to all you want!

Bryopsis is soft, but usually very feathery. Almost like Caulerpa when it is growing well. Below is a photo from an earlier batch.

I thought I remembered something like that, and with a little web research on my own I'm pretty sure that's what it is. How would you suggest getting what I can collect to you? Will you be at the meeting next Saturday? Edited October 11, 2015 by LCDRDATA
mogurnda October 11, 2015 Author October 11, 2015 I have some growing if you want it. And it is indeed beautiful. Thanks for the algae! I thought I remembered something like that, and with a little web research on my own I'm pretty sure that's what it is. How would you suggest getting what I can collect to you? Will you be at the meeting next Saturday? I would love more algae, but have a conflict with the meeting. I am in the area though. Will PM about possibly meeting up before or after.
mogurnda October 12, 2015 Author October 12, 2015 A quick and dirty photo of one of the crispata enjoying fresh Bryopsis.
Bruleyii October 13, 2015 October 13, 2015 I have some but it would be a bit of a haul for you to come pick it up.
mogurnda October 13, 2015 Author October 13, 2015 Sweet !!!! Looking good It's finer and brighter green than the stuff Justin had. Maybe a different species. I have some but it would be a bit of a haul for you to come pick it up. It may be time for a road trip at some point.
Bruleyii October 13, 2015 October 13, 2015 Ive read that the slugs like to float around. Is that true?

Bruleyii October 13, 2015 October 13, 2015 https://youtu.be/hftEWpoxbPo So you cant have any flow with these then, right?
mogurnda October 13, 2015 Author October 13, 2015 Nope. If you put one into a normal reef tank, it will be dead within a week. If they were smart, they would stay on the food plant and not wander around. They are not smart.
