Included in the Pack

Dragon’s Breath (Halymenia sp.)
A stunning ornamental red macroalgae that adds brilliant red and orange coloration to your refugium or display while naturally consuming excess nutrients.

Chaetomorpha (Chaetomorpha linum)
Often considered the gold standard for nutrient export, Chaeto is a fast-growing green macroalgae that efficiently absorbs nitrate and phosphate.
