Family
Common name: Red Bush Algae
Scientific name: Rhodomelaceae
Rhodomelaceae is a family of red algae, primarily found in marine environments. Members of this family are known for their bushy, branching structures and can range in color from deep red to purple. They are often used in reef aquariums for their natural beauty and ability to absorb excess nutrients, which helps in controlling algae growth. Some species within this family are also known to host small invertebrates, providing additional biodiversity to the tank ecosystem.
