1/2 cup Blue Hypnea (Hypnea pannosa) Macro Algae Marine Saltwater Plant

Blue Hypnea (Hypnea pannosa) is an iridescent blue ornamental algae.  Though similar in appearance to Ochtodes sp. algae from the Caribbean, this species originates from Micronesia and has slightly different morphology.  Blue Hypnea grows in very dense, matted clumps that loosely anchor to coarse substrates.  It is not a particularly fast growing algae so containing its growth is not difficult.  We recommend moderate to high, full spectrum lighting for optimum coloration and growth.

Beneficial and Beautiful Macro algae:  Growing macro algae reduce the phosphates and nitrates from your tank, compete with nuisance algae and benefits overall water quality.

It is a very good fishfood.  They love to these algae.

How to grow:  Strong light, flow and some phosphates and nitrates.
