So I've been on the search for a while for new, uncommon macros to add to my collection. I feel like I have found everything online retailers have to offer. So I was wondering if any fellow reefers had some rare or unusual macros they'd be willing to share/sell.
I already have a lot of reds including String of Pearls, Botryocladia (unsure what specific species, I think occidentalis), multiple dragon's breath halymenias, portieria, blue hypnea, bryothamnion, and other very common ones. Not getting greens right now until I start my 30 gal grow out tank, unless it is really uncommon or interesting.
Some macros I've been interested in but have been unsuccessful in finding:
-Red palm
-Chondria
-Laurencia
-Flamingo Feather
-Any type of scroll algae
Definitely let me know if you have any of these or something cool that's not listed! I have plenty of pictures on my build thread of what I already have and I'll leave a link to my WTB post that's a little more detailed.

Unfortunately, the minimum cost for an order is $70... animal cost only.
I am doing medium light right now. Red macros grow better in blue spectrum and green macros grow better in white spectrum. I have read somewhere that red macros really like IYeah I actually tried them out too, about a month or two ago. I got the jointed tuft and flamingo feather. Unfortunately, the flamingo feather didn’t survive. I was going to try again sometime soon though! What kind of water flow and light intensity do you have it under?
I have the flamingo feather in a pretty high flow right now and it seems to be doing pretty well! Medium flow throughout the tank though!
Have you looked at codium? It’s a really pretty green macro with a really cool texture!
I bought this macro recently and it came in really healthy. It’s kind of like dragons breath except the macro has a lot of little orange dots on it! It’s a really pretty macro

there’s another listing on Etsy for a red razor macro as well!
If you get any news on those macros you’re looking for keep me posted ! I’m always searching for stuff too. So if I come across anything I’ll let you know!
