    Out-of-Stock
    £6.95

    The Caulerpa Brachypus macroalgae is a much smaller growing macroalgae than its big brother the Caulerpa Prolifera marine macroalgae, with blades just 1-5cm long. The fronds are attached to a slim rhizome which will attach itself easily to rock. This is a very specialised macroalgae and more recommended for dedicated planted Reef Tanks or Macroalgae refugiums to create a complete macroalgae look.

    Caulerpa Brachypus Marine Macroalgae

    Premium Marine Macro algae for the Planted Reef Display Tank & Refugium for sale on Live Algae UK.
    Your 1st choice for clean Marine Macroalgae from Fish & Copper free tanks since 2014.

    Light
    The Caulerpa Brachypus macroalgae grows well under medium to strong light.

    Palatable
    This marine algae  is more palatable than the normal Caulerpa Prolifera species.

    Attaching
    As this macro algae will attach itself to rock etc. we recommend not to place these macroalgae too close to your main rock in the Reef Display Tank, unless you like to have it there. It needs some trimming and care. The algae species is great to keep in the sump for the nitrate and phosphate export. 

    Caulerpa Case
    Some Caulerpa species might go sexual, which means that it releases gametes and tissue into the aquarium water. 

    Trimming
    Whitish parts of it should be removed as they are decomposing.

    Treatment
    Like for most marine macroalgae a higher level of Nitrate and Phosphate, in addition to the supplement of Iron, Magnesium and Trace elements will improve the growth of this live algae.

    If the macroalgae is not growing as expected a special formulated fertiliser for the marine aquarium can help to improve the growth of the macroalgae. Please find a selection of supplements for the marine aquarium HERE  

    Placement
    This macroalgae can be either placed in the Refugium where it would need an enclosed space or in an enclosed area in the marine Display Tank.

    Please note
    Our macroalgae are from fish free macro algae tanks, although we use sometimes pictures for demonstration purposes only which will include fishes, seahorses and or corals. 
    We do our best to quarantine, treat and remove any unwanted hitchhikers, parasites etc from our macro algae but we can not guarantee that the algae are completely free of anything unwanted, not limited to Copepods, Rotifers etc. This is simply because that sometimes eggs, spores, etc can remain viable but not visible and hitchhikers can still stay hidden, especially in dense algae structures, despite our strict quarantine efforts. 

    All macro algae will be thoroughly dipped in a professional solution to deactivate hitchhikers as good as possible before posting. If you don't want this, please send us a message together with your order.

    We highly recommend nonetheless that you properly quarantine anything new before adding it to your marine tank.

    We aim to offer you the healthiest and best quality macro algae on the market, therefore, all of our macro algae comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

    Took to long to arrive.

    The algae took to long to arrive, which seemed to be a problem of Royal Mail, Some of the algae looked already bad. Luckily it got sorted out.


    Shop owner reply (07/10/2020):
    I\\\'m sorry for the delay.

As it grows much faster than the thick Chaetomorpha which we offer too it will need a minimum nitrate level of 2-3 ppm, otherwise it may starve and struggle.  We have a palatable Chaeto...

                The marine macroalgae species Caulerpa Racemosa Peltata features quite small round or flat topped uprights, which look like little umbrellas. It is a fast growing marine algae addition which is a great addition for the planted reef tank or refugium. As it will attach itself it is recommended to keep it away from the main rockwork.

                      The Caulerpa Serrulata marine macroalgae species has small branched uprights with a series of flat serrated blades. It is a great alternative to some other Caulerpa species which can go sexual as it is a very hardie caulerpa marine algae . A great choice for the nutrients export.
