| Unfortunately, the sargassum does very poorly in my tank. It really needs flow that I can't provide. Without it, it tends to get taken over by other algae and die off from the tips down. There are two different varieties that I find up here. They do tend to be plentiful most of the summer. My tang LOVED it.
Maybe this Summer, if you and I can remember, I'll try sending you a bunch of differing types. The Ulva is a "no brainer" and lasts long. As does the Codium (also sometimes called "dead mans fingers"). The wrack also needs high flow. It's typically found in estuaries and canals where the water really rushes by. Crazy thing is, even though it needs good flow, it can also survive periods of low tide, out of the water, in the direct sun.... go figure!
