Order
Common name: Malpighiales
Scientific name: Malpighiales
Malpighiales is an order of flowering plants, not typically found in the reefkeeping hobby as it includes primarily terrestrial species. However, some hobbyists may be interested in mangroves, which are part of this order and can be incorporated into refugium setups to aid in nutrient export and provide natural habitats for small organisms. Mangroves are known for their ability to thrive in brackish and saltwater conditions, making them a unique addition to some saltwater aquariums.
