Macros in display

[bobbyrobot]

So I saw a reef online that had a bunch of different macro algae interspersed in with the coral and it looked so natural. I was wanting to kinda do the same with my mixed reef anything that would be ok to keep with a couple of tangs? The tank is a 125 lit with AI Hydras. Also the tank has a blond Naso, sailfin, and rabbit fish.

chances are your tangs will have them for snacks

The tank I saw had a few tangs. But it was also huge maybe 400 gallons.

that and/or the fact that those tangs are well fed. Some of the macro algaes, like dragon breath, don't last long in a tank with that many tangs

Will tangs eat halamedia?

I have a nice macro I keep in my tanks that tangs won't eat. I'm not sure the species but the common name was Violet dream. Tangs taste it but won't eat it after that.

That looks nice. Where is everyone getting macros from? My lfs never has any.
