Family

Common name: Wrangeliaceae

Scientific name: Wrangeliaceae

The Wrangeliaceae family, part of the red algae group, is not commonly found in the reef aquarium trade. However, for hobbyists interested in diverse macroalgae displays, some species within this family can add unique textures and colors to a tank. They typically require stable water conditions with moderate to high flow and lighting. As with most macroalgae, they can help with nutrient export and provide natural food sources for herbivorous marine life.
