Shaving Brush, (Penicillus dumetosus) x2
Ulva or sea lettuce - Prob in the fuge cause tangs will go crazy
Mermaids fan x 2
Grape Caulerpa x2
flat branched x2
Christmas tree plant (Rhipocephalus phoenix) x2

all of this into a 90 gallon display

Macro can look nice in a tank. My tangs would eat all of it though so it only looks nice for about a week.
