Hello:

I was wondering if anyone has any Turtle Grass they would like to sell or give away. I am looking for some for my 40 gallon.

Thanks,

James

We get some accidentally in some of our shipments at B&B. Come in when you get the chance, may have some now. It usually comes in as very small pieces, almost always has a rhizome though. I can probably sell it to you at 2.99 apiece.

Is that the stuff that washes up on the beach?

The only thing that I have seen washing up on the beach is Sargassum. It's the brown leafy weeds that have bladders and is usually found in mats offshore when the winds are right. I have heard of it being used in refuges before and if you find some there is an enormous amount of life in it. Last time we were offshore I grabbed some that got on the anchor line and there were juvenile barracuda and a type of frog fish. Pretty cool stuff.
