Great episode! If we weren’t able to make reef stock Chattanooga and are interested in learning more about the dwarf seahorse macro tanks, is there another place we can go?
Please consider putting these videos on the main ReefBuilders YT. The intended audience is not being reached on this smaller channel. Good info people should hear.
Great episode! @Biophile.Endeavors was the macro algae you gave to Julian the red with fluorescing orange spots that's being sold now as Atomic Broccoli? I got it from Colin Foord in 2023 and we were thinking it was halymenia stipitata?
Nope! That’s a really cool Halymenia species, this was an Eucheuma. Mine was thin and stiff, with spines up and down it. The atomic broccoli is a super cool one from Colin! Totally different florescent algae
@@thomasdirocco nope, and likely never will. If I ever sell to the non-academic side online it will be wholesale accounts. But you can find me at shows! I do booths and sell to the public in person.
This is the episode I've been waiting for haha, absolutely love learning taxonomy, thank you! Could you also please share links to online resources recommended for studying coral taxonomy?
@Biophile.Endeavors So I have to ask the question that’s the elephant in the room. You stated that multiple Chaetomorpha species exist. It seems the predominant species in the hobby clumps up kind of like a Brillo Pad. Jake Adams once had a chaeto that was more stringy like spaghetti as he described it. Do you have any insight into what causes the difference, or is it in fact two separate species? Any knowledge to shed light on this mystery? Of course we’re all hoping you’ll say you have the elusive spaghetti chaeto strain! Bonus points if that sarcophyton checks out for Weeping Willow. You’ll be my new hero twice over!
I didn’t get to go to the show. Wife and I went to Vegas for the weekend are anniversary. Ran into Salem at fish mania. Was awesome chatting with you. P.s. my wife when we left she was like who was that kid you where talking to 😂😂😂😂 she thought Salem was like 15 years old 😂😂😂😂
@@murrmansreef3944 It definitely is. Or possibly the rest of us are just aging horribly because of all the seed oil. Let’s ask him which one it is. Lol.
I got a chance to talk with him and couldn't agree more. Good dude! Haters are everywhere trying to make themselves feel better by bringing others down...tale as old as time. ~Remy
