Re: [AGA Member] Pellia



I have some shreds, pieces smaller than an inch in several
tanks.  I seem to keep teetering on the brink of
propogation.

But this stuff doesn't travel well -- not via the mail
anyway -- as far as I can tell.

I'd be willing to part with a few pieces to spred this
stuff around if you wanted to come for it.  I'm afraid if I
mailed a sample, any damage or loss of a material would be
too much.

I live near Red Bank if that's any help near Parkway 105.
