Green Staghorn Macroalgae- Reef Genetics

Green Staghorn Macroalgae (Codium fragile) is a hardy, attractive macroalgae that adds natural beauty while providing valuable nutrient export for saltwater aquariums. Its unique branching, finger-like structure creates an eye-catching display in refugiums, macroalgae tanks, and estuarine aquariums while offering excellent habitat for a wide variety of beneficial microfauna.

As it grows, Green Staghorn absorbs excess nitrates and phosphates from the water, helping improve overall water quality and support a healthier aquarium. Its dense, textured branches provide an ideal refuge for copepods, amphipods, isopods, and other beneficial invertebrates, making it an excellent addition to reef systems that rely on a thriving pod population.

Each specimen is grown in isolated systems free of fish and invertebrates, helping minimize the risk of introducing unwanted pests or diseases into your aquarium.
