The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae is great choice for most nano reef aquariums, refugium or seahorse systems. However, if growing for display purposes, it may not be suitable in systems housing large herbivorous fish and invertebrates, as they will delight in dining on the Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae.
Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae arrives ready to anchor in the rockwork of your refugium. Provide medium to high flow and low to moderate lighting with the supplementation of iron, magnesium and trace elements. While the Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae provides natural filtration utilizing available phosphate and nitrate, excessively high levels of phosphates or nitrates will inhibit growth.The Aquacultured Dragon's Tongue Algae is also an important and favorite food source of herbivores like tangs and angels. Once established, clip pieces from your refugium or nano aquarium and feed as a nutritious snack.
