Common name: Red Algae Family

Gracilariaceae is a family of red algae, primarily found in marine environments. Members of this family are known for their economic importance in agar production. In reef aquariums, they can serve as natural filtration, absorbing excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates. They often display a range of colors from deep reds to purples and can add aesthetic value to the tank. However, they require proper lighting and water flow to thrive and should be monitored to prevent overgrowth, which can lead to oxygen depletion at night.
