Description
Caulerpa lentillifera, commonly known as "sea grapes," is a green macroalga prized for its unique bead-like fronds and vibrant appearance. It is widely used in marine aquariums and refugiums for its ability to absorb excess nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates, helping to maintain water quality. Its dense growth provides shelter for small marine organisms, promoting biodiversity within the tank. In addition to its aquarium benefits, Caulerpa lentillifera is also cultivated as a nutritious edible seaweed in some regions. Its fast growth and striking aesthetic make it a valuable and visually appealing addition to marine systems.
