Haliptilon, also known as Red Fern Macroalgae, is a beautiful addition to any marine aquarium. This graceful macroalgae is known for its striking red color and fern-like structure, which instantly adds a natural accent and depth to your aquascape. Haliptilon not only enhances the aesthetics of your aquarium but also actively helps improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate. This species is particularly suitable for aquarists looking for a decorative and functional plant for their reef or marine aquarium. Its robust structure makes Haliptilon less attractive to many herbivorous fish and invertebrates, allowing it to remain beautiful longer. Add a unique and healthy element to your underwater world with Haliptilon.

Features

• Striking red colour and branched, fern-like growth habit
• Suitable for both nano and large marine aquariums
• Helps to bind nitrate and phosphate
• Less palatable to most herbivorous fish and crayfish
• Ideal as a decoration and shelter for small sea creatures
• Thrives best in moderate to strong light
• Promotes a stable and healthy aquarium environment

Usage

• Haliptilon can be placed loosely on the substrate or carefully secured to rocks or aquascaping elements.
• Ideal for refugiums, display tanks and as an accent in aquascapes.
• Can be combined with other macroalgae or corals, provided the water parameters are stable.

Care

• Provide sufficient light, preferably LED or T5 lighting with a spectrum suitable for plant growth.
• Stable water parameters are essential. Ideal temperature: 22-26°C, salinity: 1.023-1.025 SG.
• Regular water circulation prevents algae deposits on the leaves.
• Add additional trace elements if necessary for optimal growth.
• Remove damaged or old parts to keep the plant healthy.
