HALYMENIA FLORIDANA |
I am new here so trying to still figure out how to use this site. it is growing rather high in my tank and growing rapidly may I add. Lopez asked if I had a refugium. I do but if you say it tears really easily I don't want to damage it. Is this good for my tank? As I am really not sure how it got in my tank I have not added anything new to my for a long time now. Is it good for the tank or does that mean my water parameters are off? It is very pretty and the color is beautiful but also don't want it to take over and kill off my coralsMarine Plants in the Aquarium

HALYMENIA FLORIDANA
An interesting species of Halymenia that is highly variable in color, ranging from bright yellow to red depending on the depth collected. Like all species of Halymenia, it is gelatinous and smooth in texture and is easily torn. This particular species stays rather compact and its blades rounded and irregular similar to species of Ulva. Most Halymenia grow in rather deep locations so do not require much lighting. Specimens are normally collected free floating or attached to coral rubble by a single holdfast. In the aquarium they will seldom attach so they must be anchored or allowed to tumble as free floating specimens. H. Floridana is very palatable and is readily
U can remove it from corals. It is a good and beautiful adition for your tank. Tangs eat them. I may be wrong. If I was in your place, I would keep them. It may also disappear after few weeks.I am new here so trying to still figure out how to use this site. it is growing rather high in my tank and growing rapidly may I add.

Save it from predators like tang and other herbivores and don't disturb it so much, let it be where it is and provide good water quality. They don't require special light. They live in area with moderate lights. I hv heard Iodine levels influence their growth. They sometime starts to lose bright colour so difficult to maintain for long timeI would like to keep it and I really don't want it to disappear so do you have any information on water wuality and things like that to help so it does not disappear?
Thank you so much for your reply. My water quality seems to be good upon testing. Do you know what levels of different testing would be bad for it? And unfortunately I am at a toss up. I currently don't have any tangs as something happened to another of my fish so I was waiting to add anymore to get my tank back in good condition.

For now, water condition which u hv, only maintain it if it seems happy. As u stated it is growing so nothing to worry. If u see it's colour fading, then u hv to worryThank you so much for your reply. My water quality seems to be good upon testing. Do you know what levels of different testing would be bad for it?

You worry too much. It’s doing it’s thing without your help. I already linked macro handbook. I suggest you read it.Thank you so much for your reply. My water quality seems to be good upon testing.

Its macro algae and likely Grinnellia and for me desired except I have over 22 tangs and it would not last but seconds. It is harmless and if it becomes a nuisance to the mushrooms, can be cut and replanted if you desire to keep itHello reefers. I was wondering if anyone could please help me identify this red flowing stuff in my tank. It all the sudden just appeared and I have done so much research and cannot come up with any kind of straight answer. It is growing really fast. I don't want to remove it if it is good for my tank but in the other hand if it is not I want to get it out. Like I said it is growing really fast. Please help
Often when I get diver collected live rock, years later stuff grows from rock. This includes macro algae & coral.Thank you for the reply. This is growing higher up in my tank so does that mean my lights are bad? Do you know where it comes from? It literally just appeared in my tank. Have not added anything new to the tank for along time so I really don't know where it came from. It is growing really fast.
