Looking at the page again, the Tang Heaven Red is Gracilaria parvispora...
I actually sprung for this Capelin Roe product:

You keep in the freezer, but don't have to defrost it.
The downside is having it shipped quickly in dry ice.
The upside is two pounds of it lasts a real long time.

THANK YOU! (Better you than me.) But at least it's in the "Family"!
That may not happen too quickly. The description says "This xenia is less prone to move to the adjacent rock". I consider that to be a selling point - I currently spend two hours periodically cutting back on my invasive xenia.
Brtightwell actually has pretty good dosing instructions posted on all their products.
Check the link I posted for dosing calculations.
I don't have any LPS to speak of in regard to damage from LaCl.

You can only experiment with SeaKlear Phosphate Remover.
All that said, I have some...

FWIW, four or five days ago, one of mine spent a good 36 hours sitting on one of my nori feeders. It then moved on to a patch of green hair...
There are some Sea Squirrel like units on the market today that allow for the attaching of a power head (of your choice) to the lower end of their single axel that those units rotate, which is what they're designed for. (You can't attach a Vortech to them, or you'd have to rotate the glass...
