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!)
