Thanks,
James

We get some accidentally in some of our shipments at B&B. Come in when you get the chance, may have some now. It usually comes in as very small pieces, almost always has a rhizome though. I can probably sell it to you at 2.99 apiece.

The only thing that I have seen washing up on the beach is Sargassum. It's the brown leafy weeds that have bladders and is usually found in mats offshore when the winds are right. I have heard of it being used in refuges before and if you find some there is an enormous amount of life in it. Last time we were offshore I grabbed some that got on the anchor line and there were juvenile barracuda and a type of frog fish. Pretty cool stuff.
