George, IMHO, you were a little too quick to answer.  

Obviously the issue of using MHs with corals is not appropiate
here.  But what about the second question?  I doubt you ment
to imply that a marine (ahem) aquatic plant is *not* an aquatic
plant?  =;)

Almost all forms of Caulerpa grew very well for me when my tanks
were well kept.  I have never seen Halimeda nor shaving brushes
do anything but die in captivity.  But I stopped keeping up with
reef tank CW back about four years now.  

I would *love* to hear from anyone who keeps variety of
flurishing marine plants.  After all, plant tanks are a aweful
lot like reef tanks with algae filters.  In other words, I
flirt with the idea of a marine *plant* tank with just a tiny
few corals.  (But a marine plant tank filled with Caulerpa
would be boring and tropical plant tanks are *so* much cheaper
to maintain, easier to maintain and healther!)
