Red Bush Gracilaria
Red Bush Gracilaria, known scientifically as Gracilaria curtissae, is a stunning red macroalgae that features rigid, irregularly shaped branches forming a symmetrical bush. It's lightly calcified, making it less appealing as food for fish and invertebrates. This algae thrives in strong light and moderate currents, requiring a well-balanced environment that replicates natural seawater conditions.
Temperature: 72-78° F (22-26° C) pH: 8.1 to 8.4 Salinity (Specific Gravity): 1.023 to 1.026 Calcium: 350-450 ppm Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH Magnesium: Levels consistent with natural seawater
Suitable for both refugium and display tank.
Attaches to limestone or occasionally to basalt substrates. Can be anchored between rockwork in the aquarium.
around 18 inches
Helps remove excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates, providing a natural food source for herbivorous fish.
Requires a bit of calcium supplementation. It's a slow grower and not very palatable to fish or invertebrates, making it less likely to be eaten.
