    I have one in my 36 gallon and he does fine, I also feed him algae flakes which is pretty neat cause he grabs them with his pinchers, its cool to watch.

    2 emeralds in a 46 is perfectly fine. Does the algae kinda have a palm leaf look to it? Check out bryopsis on google or something, I can't really tell for sure in the pics..

    I can't get a better picture to save my life. There is no palm leaf look to it. It's more of wide, straight edge leaf that's a little wavy. Someone said it looks like kelp and that's a good description. They're pale and somewhat see-through.

    It kind of looks like these leaves (but without the length, texture on the leaves, the stalk or the seeds in the middle):
