I am looking for an Xtra Large Macro Algae Plant for my Display Tank. Preferably Red, like a Red Dragons Tongue. I am looking for over 12 inches at minimum for looks and to keep up with providing food for my Tang. Every frag I buy is too small and either gets eaten right away or blown up into my wave maker and shredded.

IMO, you won't get one big enough that won't get eaten by the tang. Many people grow the algae in the sump and add it to the tank when they want to thin out the sump growth. Good luck none the less!

Snails will munch on many types of alage as well.
 
I ended up picking a few house plants from there after struggling to find healthy ones locally, and they showed up in great shape. The fast delivery helped a lot, and the bundles made it easy to fill a space without overthinking it. If you’re trying to brighten up a room without too much fuss, it’s been a solid option for me.

If you're going to be at the frag swap, I probably need to prune about a softball size of red razor and can bring it. There is a bunch of aiptasia in it though if that matters and can't say for sure if tangs will eat it since it's a lot tougher than the leafy macros like dragons tounge.

PIF: Red razor macroalgae

Long overdue trimming from neglect. PIF pickup in Dublin. Might have aiptasia and bubble algae. Lots of pods and dove snails too.

Hey Casey, I'll take some of that red razor please. Can pick up from you one of these weekends.
