MacroAlgae sources

[jrpark22000]

Been looking around to replace a couple cool macroalgaes and trying to find online resellers of the less common stuff. Anyone have any experience with any of these places or have others to recommend?

http://www.live-plants.com/index.htm - many species of soft and hard algae - $15 flat usps shipping
http://www.lareefs.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 – many species with several rare ones - $7 flat usps shipping
http://www.reefs2go.com/category/sea_life.macro_algae - iffy place IMO from previous experience
http://www.reefcleaners.org – limited selection
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=490 – limited selection

Algae like halimeda, hard branching coralline, cymopolia, hypnea, padina, ochtodes and a few others.

I don't have any experience but I'm curious if you're looking at these for a fuge or in the DT?

Both, I've kept several in the DT but my bicolor and others like to nip them until gone. Now that I have the seperate Nem tank I can add a few in it to live in peace.

Thanks Craig! From the few online reviews, I saw the same about live-plants/GCE.
