victoly Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 This'll be the first macro that I want in my DT. "Blue Hypnea (Hypnea pannosa) is an iridescent blue ornamental algae. Though similar in appearance to Ochtodes sp. algae from the Caribbean, this species originates from Micronesia and has slightly different morphology. Blue Hypnea grows in very dense, matted clumps that loosely anchor to coarse substrates. It is not a particularly fast growing algae so containing its growth is not difficult. We recommend moderate to high, full spectrum lighting for optimum coloration and growth. Photo taken under 10k Metal halide with supplemental flash."

jestep Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That's awesome. Definitely want some in my pico. Would really look good contrasting the bright red/orange hayi that I've got. Maybe Gary could special order some for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tang or rabbitfish will be very likely to eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
