Description: This is for a 3-5" of live Caulerpa Mexicana FYI, NOT for sale and ship to California CA as this macro is ban from transport and sale. Pictures are for reference only. When you purchase from our store we guarantee some of the healthiest macro algae on eBay. We cannot guarantee coloration, growth pattern or species identification. These are live "plants" and they will look and grow differently under different aquarium conditions. Lighting, water flow, nutrients, temperature, salinity as well as other factors will impact growth and coloration of any live "plant" including macro algae. Mexicana is sure to be one of your center piece algae for your tank. If you are looking for a hardy and fast growing alga, this is it. This is a very hardy green alga. We use this algae extensively in all of our tanks because of its beauty and nutrient uptake. If you are not using algae to eliminate your nitrates you are missing out. In many fish only systems, keeping algae will allow the aquarist to almost eliminate the need for water changes altogether. Also, many aquarists don't know it but macro algae actually use all of the toxins that we must watch so carefully in our aquariums. Ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and phosphates are used by algae as fertilizer and are removed from the water to make for happier fish. Care should be taken when using large quantities of algae for nutrient uptake. The algae will cause a large oxygen and PH swing at night because at night the plants actually use oxygen instead of producing it, thereby greatly decreasing the level of available oxygen for the fish in your tank. 24 hour lights over the algae or the use of additional aeration equipment are two methods that are commonly used to avoid this problem. Please also make sure to remove any dead or sick algae from your aquarium as soon as possible because the decaying algae is very harmful for your fish just like decaying food that is left uneaten. This is a warm water alga that won't shock from typical saltwater aquarium temps! about 77 degrees. Other species may be from cold water climates and will not acclimate to average tropical saltwater temps. Basic care.. Simply float the unopened bag containing your new algae in the tank for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the temperatures to match up. Then place the algae in your tank. Mexicana will attach itself to rocks or substrate. Trim your algae periodically to directly remove the absorbed toxins from your water or use it as food for your herbivore fish. OUR GUARANTEE...
