Family
Common name: Boodleaceae
Scientific name: Boodleaceae
The Boodleaceae family, part of the Chlorophyta phylum, includes green algae species often found in marine environments. Members of this family are characterized by their filamentous and branched thallus structure. They can be found in a variety of reef settings, sometimes growing on rocks or other hard substrates. While not commonly kept in home aquariums, they can be of interest for refugium setups where they contribute to nutrient export and provide a natural food source for some marine organisms.
