Red Gracilaria Algae is a reddish transparent algae that is a natural food source for all herbivorous fish. This live food will provide the proper nutrition for many species of plant eating marine fish. Your tangs and angels will go crazy over this algae. This feeding algae is in small 1-4" pieces that may be placed directly in the aquarium fed in a similar fashion to flake foods.
Gracilaria algae may also be grown in the invertebrate or reef aquarium as long as the algae is not disturbed by fish or invertebrates. Anchor the algae between the rockwork of the aquarium, and the algae will take root and start to grow if it is given proper lighting and water conditions.
Provide moderate flow and lighting with the supplement of Iron, Magnesium and Trace elements. High levels of phosphates or nitrates will inhibit the growth of these algae.

The algae came as it looks in the picture but I expected it to be attached to a rock or something but was still nice.
Ive been adding marine plants to my reef tank. I could not be happier with this plant. Planned to put it in the refugium, but the pieces were big enough to place between rocks. Adds color and improves water quality. I really love the look in my tank!
