Botryocladia sp

I have a question about my Botryocladia sp (red grape kelp) I wonder if my coral beauty angel will eat it? I want to put it in the DT because I think it will do better there under the MH lighting. But if my coral beauty angel will eat it ..then never mind, I'll just keep it in the smaller tank. I know the Botryocladia sp is a favorite meal for herbivorous fish, but is it a favorite with the omnivore? She doesn't mess with the razor kelp and I know tangs love razor kelp. Thanks

80lbs of live rock

Marine algae are on their list of foods. Nothing else to add. risky at best.

Re: Botryocladia sp

Maybe I'll take a piece of the red grape alga and see if the angel will eat it. I will also take a picture of that coral I can't identify. Then maybe I'll have some idea on how to care for it. I would really hate for that coral to die because silly liveaquaria.com sent me a plant with a coral. Hey I got a free coral so I am not complaining too loud.

If you post a pic of it, I'm sure someone will be able to ID it.
