Family
Common name: Ceramiaceae
Scientific name: Ceramiaceae
Ceramiaceae is a family of red algae commonly found in marine environments, including reef aquariums. Members of this family are known for their delicate, filamentous structures and are often brightly colored, ranging from deep reds to purples. They can add a splash of color and diversity to a reef tank, but they require stable conditions and moderate to high lighting to thrive. Ceramiaceae algae can also serve as a natural food source for some marine invertebrates and fish. Hobbyists should monitor growth to prevent overtake of other sessile organisms.
