Genus
Common name: Red Algae
Scientific name: Solieria
Solieria is a genus of red algae known for its robust, bushy fronds that resemble a tuft of red hair. This genus is often found in marine aquariums as it adds a splash of color and natural beauty. It's a beneficial addition to reef tanks, providing habitat for small invertebrates and fish. Solieria species can also help with nutrient export by absorbing excess nitrates and phosphates from the water. They require moderate lighting and water flow to thrive.
