Hey all, hope you're doing well. Was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get live plants, specifically seagrasses (ideally an eelgrass) and such. Thanks so much!
Where to get live plants?

Locally or online? Its doubtful you'll find a LFS with any seagrasses.
Online there are a few back east.
Aquaticus Plants
In addition saltwater marine plants help clarify your water by absorbing nitrates and carbon dioxide, marine plants also serve as a food source for many marine species.

Sea Grasses
These are true vascular marine plants. They require more nutriets than macros, thereby taking more nutrients out of your water (reducing nitrates). They are less apt to be eaten by herbivores as fish prefer the soft macro. Grasses require a deeper sandbed (available here!) and high output...
I've never used any of those.
I used:

But they don't seem to offer it anymore.
