    None exist like that. There is regular kelp. But nothing like that that I'm aware of. Sorry.

    You could probably do something with ultrascatter, and I think I've seen some plant generators in various places.

    I'd go with https://www.daz3d.com/gardens-of-poseidon-plants ; It's 3DL but should convert easily.  If you want the kelp thicker/leafier, just duplicate them and then off set the second copy by a few feet on the Y-axis and an inch or so on the X axis.  Since the textures are identical, the eye blurs them together into a single thicker plant.   

    There's also https://www.daz3d.com/rdna-kelplands-vol-2 which you can mix in to add variety.

    Ah, I knew I had another one.  Cybertenko at Renderosity has a product called Captain Nemo's hunting grounds that includes some giant kelp props, but the textures need a lot more work to look right in Iray.

    There are some older RDNA products, search the store for "kelplands". They had other stuff from the sea, also older, there might be some kelp under other names also.

    There's also vol 3 & 4. Strangely enough only vol 4 shows up if you search on "kelp" only.

    I was only suggesting the ones that looked the most similar to the reference photos attached.  :)  There ARE other products out that that have a few bits of seaweed in them, but the Poseidon's Garden props are the closest to the sample images.   There's also some great individual strands in https://www.daz3d.com/pw-under-water-resort-atlantis , but that's a fairly pricy package to buy just for the weeds.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I have the Poseidon one already, but I didn't think about using that kelp. Maybe I will take another look.  Yeah those kelplands ones didn't show up at all before for me when I searched!

    Number one rule of seaching DAZ:  don't use the internal search system.  Just go to google and search that way and you'll turn up lots of stuff that the DAZ system misses.
