Is this Gracilaria Curtissiae ? need accurate Id but I’ve been calling it Gracilaria. LFS calls it dragons tongue.

And is anyone interested in taking some off my hands? We’ve already fully stocked our LFS and it just keeps growing! :)

Side note: we keep a natural tank with pests such as asterina stars, brittle stars, bristle worms, stomatella snails, and we have majano anemones.

Gracilaria curtissae would be the correct if for this algae, dragon tongue is much differ not even similar
 
May be rhodophyte or dragon macro or even grinellia

I like the color it adds to the tank. Did you place it in those spots or does it spread like that? It looks good

Thank you! We started with one chunk that we glued into place, but it tends to spread itself around a little buts grows into clumps in very specific places ( high light, mod flow where it can sit between a rock and a coral). It’s very easy to remove as needed.

It really makes our tank look cool!
