Local Macro Algae

[Whitebird1]

Collected this in Shark River in the Main Channel, High Current area. New to me, Deep Red, Tough like a thin leather and thicker than most Macro. Lenth is about 14 inchs- 3 inch or so wide. I have held it in a cool tank and just moved it to two different Tanks, one under PC lights and one under T-5s. See what happens. Pics.

So Far, PC Lights no good, T-5, so far GOOD. Neat stuff but, as in any wild collected Macros time will tell
