anyone need chaeto?

Anyone in need of chaeto? Sits in my refugium so it has lots of pods.
Open to trades.

i am looking for a star polyp if anyone has.

Looks a bit more like hair algae than chaeto which resembles green brillo pads. If is Chaetomorpha , I would do the swap with you.

I will bring you some when I get time!

I am not sure why mine is not thicker, but it sure grows fast!

It started out with the brillo pad consistency, but through the years it has gotten thinner and a bit lighter.
I have my light 6 inches above the water and leave it on for about 16 hours/day.

Come check it out. It is an oddity, but it works great for nutrient export.

I did an experiment once and put it under lower lighting. It went back to its original color and texture.

Same thing with the flame algae I have in my refugium. It turns pale under the bright lighting and grows much faster, but then returns to the deep red color once I put it under lower lighting.
