Re: Marine Plants?

I believe that all of the species that you named are actually macroalgaes.
Indeed there are only a very few marine plants (i.e. they have specialized
structures, roots, etc. not like algeaes).  Turtle grass and eel grass
are only two of a handful of marine plants.  I at one time tried to get
ahold of this stuff when I worked at a pet store, but gave up after no
sucess for over a year.  Possible collecting your own in Florida is
possible.

Marine algaes are beautiful and plentiful and would make a very
interesting tank, but are not plants, they are "lower" life forms.
