Grape Algae

[Jamo7]

I have grape algae growing in my sump. I looks pretty cool. I’m curious if it’s something I should try and sell? Rather than toss it in my compost. It popped up one day out of nowhere and I let it be and threw it in my compost bin (where all the unwanted algae’s go). I see there is a little bit of $ value to it, just wondering if that’s something anyone would be interested in.
I don’t care either way just thought I would put it out there.

If you have a fox face or other herbivore, its free food. I feed my one spot my extra red grape .

and they value it at $70 I’m not looking to get rich off of it. Just expensive compost. I’m sure it’s great for my compost bin. But if someone else needs it. No I don’t have a fox face, or very many fish at all I like my anemone’s personality.

I trade mine at my LFS for store credit.

Most people don't have a large refugium to make use of these kinds of macro, so not a large demand.
