Any ideas of plants for my tank?

[jursula]

Hello!
I was just wondering if anybody has ideas of the plants I can put in my tank? I have 65G reef and it looks kind of empty. Plus I thought my yellow and hippo tank will enjoy some of eat. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, where do you usually buy them? Store next to me doesnt have anything besides chaeto.
Thank you again.

Well.. caulerpa is an easy macro. If your tangs don't eat it though it will take over your tank.

Thank you.
Did anybody try shaving brush or any other plants? I had mangroves before in the sump, very unconvenient to have them in the tank. But they didnt survive for some reason

Shaving brushes are tempermental. We kept a few and they sprouted babies and then they all disappeared. Maybe not enough nutrients in the tank to support them. They are very light intensive though, like mangroves.

Thank you.
It looks like plants dont do too well in the tanks, unfortunately. I would love to have more greens in mine
