how long can macro be out of water?

my fuge broke somehow last night i woke up with all the water and some of the mud on the floor... there was no macro left in water... (interesting... I found a octopus in my fuge thou when i went to put the macro in the new tank. It is dead thou are they good for a fuge? or not)

What species of algae are we talking about?

 

mexicana, calupra and one other cant remember what its called

 

Well, the first two are unicellular. If there's water still in the tissue, you're golden. I obviously cannot speak about the 3rd species because I don't have a clue what it is.

 

the 3rd is Cheto

 

cheato - cheatomorpha

also if fine i believe, but Curt has much more experience

I assume they are in water now? As long as they dont discolor in the next couple of days youre golden

 

yeah the tips are discolored now but i think they will be fine... we will see
