Description
Sargassum is one of the few brown algae species that can be kept in the aquarium. It features a golden brown coloration with pointed fronds. Most species have air bladders that keep the plant upright but they are sometimes absent on deeper water specimens we collect. Unlike the floating species this form is attached to hard bottom from a single holdfast. It needs an environment with very intense lighting, but can also be kept under full spectrum lights if placed near the top of the water. Plants are sold as individual specimens and are approx 5-8" tall.
