That doesn't look like C. taxofolia in the upper picture.
IMO you really shouldn't be posting illegal stuff on BAR. It highly reflects poorly on other BAR members and BAR itself. But until the day you choose to do that I'll just keep posting it's illegal.
Do your parents know you could get them in a lot of trouble? As a minor CA F&G wouldn't go after you, they'd go after you parent

Not sure what he is doing even goes against the MS other then the part about environmental protection of the reef, but, the macro in question never effected a CA reef, just a polluted lagoon. He is trying to provide the later part of the MS by using macro as a nutrient export.
There are many different macro's he could use and I am sure many would step up and give him some. I only have cheato now so I can't help :lol:

The problem: The aquarium strain of Caulerpa taxifolia is an extremely invasive seaweed that is currently infesting tens of thousands of acres in the Mediterranean Sea and has now been found in two coastal water bodies in southern California.
Southern California infestations: C. taxifolia was first identified in June 2000 in Agua Hedionda Lagoon, a coastal marine lagoon located in Carlsbad in San Diego County. Its growth pattern was similar to that observed in the Mediterranean Sea, having spread to many areas and displaced the native seagrass. In July 2000, another infestation of C. taxifolia was reported in a portion of Huntington Harbour in Orange County. Test results indicate that the C. taxifolia in both Huntington Harbour and Agua Hedionda is genetically identical to the aquarium strain. Releases from aquaria, either directly into the water body, or indirectly through a storm drain, are the most likely sources of both southern California infestations of C. taxifolia.

SHOW ME REEF.....sorry you loose!!!
SCCAT only lists one of those as the second "infestation" was very minor. The Agua Hedionda was the worst, and it's a lagoon like I said. The other is a the Huntington harbor, hardly a reef as well.
