Are you planning on conducting an experiment of some sort?
I’ll check there. Thanks.I found some on ebay if you are still looking.
Feel like ripping some off and putting throwin it in a jar? Got a picture of the type of bryopsis?I have a rock that has a heavy amount of it lol
I have some. In ChicagoFeel like ripping some off and putting throwin it in a jar? Got a picture of the type of bryopsis?
looking for some bryopsis since apparently this pest algae is hard to find locally. Who would have guessed.
I Have some that i was able to stimulate growth on by doing a iron dose but bryopsis ended up getting smothered out by dinos. I do still have lots of lil sprouts popping up so maybe it can hold on while I try to kill the dinos.Did you end up getting any? I'm in the same boat. I have E. clarki that I'm attempting to breed, but only have Halimeda, Penicillus, and Derbesia. There was someone local with a Bryopsis problem, but they beat it with some fluc before I could pickup any.
The other issue I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to ID Bryopsis pennata vs Bryopsis plumosa. I've read that B. plumosa is a better food for E. clarki larvae.

The plumosa I think tends to be shorter length. Very little info on this stuff sadly but what ever I had was able to support the larvae last time they bred.
Also looking for some for same reason - if anyone has any they could send I would happy to pay the shipping and some for your trouble, or could come get if local to Boston area.
I have tons of byropsis if any of you want to contact me go aheadWelcome @CoreyA! Looks like you're new. So you're breeding Elysia as well? Do you keep reefs too or is this specifically just breeding Elysia? I'm still looking for bryopsis myself, but I'm relatively close to you, I'm in the Burlington VT area.
Is it possible for you to pull out a small piece and get a close up picture under bright light, so I can see more detail? That would help ID the species, like B. plumosa or B. pennata (this site says B. pennata is preferred).Since no one wants my Broosis can somebody confirm in Post 10 that this is the type of bropsis that lettuce sea slugs eat so I can finally get it out of my tank. Thanks for any help.
So this is best I can get hope it works. I plan to like every month or so clean it all up and throw away and this time gunna look into some lettuce slugs so if you want it let me knowIs it possible for you to pull out a small piece and get a close up picture under bright light, so I can see more detail?
