Red Ogo Gracilaria Macroalgae

Live, golfball portion of Red Ogo (Gracilaria Pacifica) macroalgae for saltwater refugium. This is a live, aquatic organism. For best practice, always quarantine any new arrivals, regardless of the source, to ensure the health of your tank.

This variety of Red Ogo, commonly known as Red Spaghetti Ogo, gets its name from its resemblance to other ogo seaweed variations. True to its name, Red Spaghetti Ogo (Gracilaria Pacifica) features a deep red-brown hue and a stringy growth pattern. Its texture allows it to form dense mats that are capable of absorbing excess nutrients, supporting a more balanced ecosystem. Relatively easygoing, Red Ogo isn't difficult to grow and will require intermittent harvesting. Harvested Gracilaria will be readily accepted by herbivores in the main aquarium.

Overall, Red Ogo Spaghetti Macroalgae is an excellent choice for saltwater refugiums, as it efficiently consumes excess nitrates and phosphates. It also adds unique texture to dedicated macroalgae aquariums. However, keep in mind that if the aquarium contains herbivores, this macroalgae is likely to be consumed!

Red Spaghetti Ogo offers a simple and effective way to maintain a balanced and healthy marine aquarium.
