I actually got it from another reefer on here when I first started my tank. However, he hasn't been active on here for almost a year. But I started selling/trading it last fall because I have so much of it and it's too cool to just trim and throw away. Just waiting for warmer weather to start again.

Would you sell and ship me some when weather is permittable? I have a string of pearls house plant that is a favorite of mine it would be awesome to keep some in my display tank!

Of course! I'm from New York so I'm hoping in a couple weeks we'll be consistently in the upper 40s or in the 50s. I'll send you a PM so I can find you easily when I start again.
