Description
A very distinctive and unusual species of red macro algae that is fairly hardy in the aquarium but prefers slightly cooler water temps. It features fine, lightly calcified filaments that form a tight symmetrical sphere. Its coloration is typically reddish-pink with white tips. This species is collected in the Gulf of Mexico among shallow seagrass beds during the winter season. It hasn't been around for a few years and is fairly rare in our area but abundant when found. Sold as a single specimen, approx 2-3" in diameter.
