Working towards a mangrove tank, and am wondering where the best place to get them? I’d prefer well started plants, rather than seedpods. If eBay/amazon, recommendations for sellers with ~18” plants that are already acclimated to salt?
Cheers

I ordered this on amazon and was amazing quality. Best deal on mangroves I've ever received. They are doing great in 1.025 salinity.

I bought mine from eBay as well. The seller was "rock_hind" and all had leaves already.

This particular seller used to sell established plants, but I don't see any right now. I definitely recommend getting larger plants, as they are VERY SLOW growers.

I just picked up some from John at Reef Cleaners, and while cheap, they're all just pods and don't have any growth.
