Common name: Cladophora algae

Cladophoraceae is a family of green algae, commonly known as Cladophora algae or green hair algae. They are characterized by their filamentous and bushy appearance, often resembling tufts of green hair. These algae are photosynthetic and can be found in a variety of marine environments. In reef aquariums, they can sometimes grow excessively due to nutrient imbalances. While they can provide a natural look and refuge for small organisms, they may also outcompete corals for space and resources if not managed properly. Hobbyists should monitor nutrient levels and consider introducing algae-eating fish or invertebrates to control their growth.
