saltwater plants

[fishman0729]

hi i was wondering if you guys and gals can give me any ideas of some cool looking saltwater plants. I plan on adding LR so i don't know if this will be an issue. It is going to be added to a 55.
Thanks a am grateful for all the opinions.
Everyone's 2 cents are always welcome.
P.S
Does anyone know how long does LR need to cure when it is bought online?

I think 3 weeks is what is recommended to cure the lr. Just make sure to check it thouroughly before adding to the main tank. As far as plants go I don't know much about it but I've always thought maidens hair is the nicest one I've seen on the net.

halmedia is a nice plant but you need good calcium levels to keep it

Here's a link to picture of some of the plants in my tank. If you have any questions, let me know.

I think it's a type of Gracilvaria (sp??) It just grew out of the rock, I didn't add it. The rock was from Gulf-View.

It might be going sexual. If so you need to trim it ASAP! cut off all pieces that don't look right and toss them. If you perform regular pruning this usually doesn't happen.
I've also heard that if you light it 24/7 it won't happen but that has not been my experience.
