Overview:
Atomic Broccoli Macroalgae is a unique, compact form of green macroalgae from the Ulva or Chlorophyta species. Known for its tight, ruffled clumps that mimic coral formations, it serves both as an attractive decoration and a functional biological filter, improving water quality in reef and seahorse aquariums.
Colorization:
This macroalgae displays a stunning deep red coloration speckled with bright red highlights, offering vivid contrast and adding natural beauty to reef environments.
Size:
The species grows into dense, bushy clusters with ruffled lobes tightly packed together, creating a compact structure ideal for smaller aquarium refugiums or as a decorative element in reef tanks.
Lighting:
Thrives under moderate to high lighting conditions such as refuge lights or specialized reef LED setups, supporting healthy pigment development and growth.
Water Flow:
Requires medium water flow to ensure debris does not accumulate within its folds, maintaining the health and cleanliness of the macroalgae.
Feeding:
As a photosynthetic macroalgae, it absorbs nutrients like nitrates and phosphates directly from the water, acting as a natural nutrient export in aquariums.
Aggressiveness:
Non-aggressive and compatible with a variety of reef inhabitants, making it a safe and cooperative addition to multi-species reef systems.
