I’m currently in the process of rescaping. I picked up suction cup macro yesterday. Last year I found what I believe to be H. dilatata wild at my lfs for sale $10 a cup. I grew it out and sold chunks to my local area for $5 just to spread some love.
My mother colony died off and I gave up on it since I made my money back, not realizing the rarity of it.

Fast forward to today, I been searching for the last month and finally managed to get a small piece from someone I sold it to! I’m just excited to have it again, but it’s a bit pale. Due to stress?
I also have blue hypnea pannosa coming in the mail tomorrow, along with Red Sea grapes, codium and a couple others I bought from weelo off of R2R/eBay.

Am I identifying this correctly? Halymenia dilatata wild? I’m not too familiar with macro but I’d like for it to not die! I just bought a bottle of ChaetoGro also!

Blue hypnea looks really sad / stressed to me. I put small amount of super glue on a rock and just let it sit ontop. Should it be fine as it is?

Red ogo gracilaria
Red grapes
Dragons tongue? Dragons breath? Too many variants, not enough names
Codium idk where I’m gonna place this, prob just anchor it in the sand.
