Caleurpa is one you'll most commonly see in the LFS. Do research before you buy though; caluerpa can basially be toxic if not kept correctly. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Off the coasts of Florida, it forms huge underwater plains, and is the main component of the Manatee's diet. Mangrove trees are also able to tolerate fully saline conditions.

I have yet to find somewhere that readily carries eel grass. Mangroves are a whole different story - the application of them in marine tanks is usually not for decor. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish
