Dog Ear Macro algae

Its time to trim back the fuge. I can make 6-8 quart size baggies of this unique macro algae. I originally got it from Shu Tin and grows well over a 5,500k-6,500k fuge bulb.

I'm in Millbrae.

 
That sure looks like the codium I have in my tanks. I personally prefer it to chaeto as it doesn't get into pumps but it is not as aggressive a grower.
 
That would be a matter of opinion. Chaeto is great for nutrient export because it grows really fast. I find though that it has a tendency to fragment and get in my pumps necessitating additional cleaning. I also think codium looks acceptable in a tank whereas chaeto is just a weed. Codium is just as easy to control as chaeto and won't become a nuisance.

I'd be interested in some of this, always happy to add additional macro algae diversity to our refugium. Will you be at the Feb meeting or should I arrange a pickup?
