Dragon Breath Question

[njtiger aquariums]

Hey guys. I have a question and hoping for some insight.

I have a 54g mix reef tank with a handful of fish. two of my fish are a yellow tang and a powered brown tang. Yellow tang been in the tank for 9+ months and the brown have been 6+ months. Both are doing great and eat well; I feed seaweed twice a day beside fish food (which is mix between flakes, brine shrimp, etc..).

I seen a couple of tanks with dragon breath and it looks nice in the tank. I will admit I have not done much research into it but I will be reading up on it. I have thought about adding dragon breath to my display tank.

My questions are:
1. What are some cons with doing that?
2. Does anyone know where I can order some online?

Dragons breath macro is a stunning algae but your tangs will wipe if out in your display....are you wanting to add it to a refugium? If yes, then go for it; if not, it won't last long.

I did hear that and figure my tangs would attack it. I currently don't have a refugium; having a corner tank really limited room in the stand lol

I grow dragons breath in my nano for my tangs in my display. THEY lovee it, i wouldve got rid of it but they go bonkers everytime i throw a piece on the clip so now i just grow it for them

its relatively a slow grower, can tolerate any type of lighting,conditions and flow
