Overview

Amphiroa spp., commonly known as articulated coralline algae, are a genus of beautiful red algae that add a unique aesthetic and natural appeal to marine aquariums. These algae feature calcified, segmented fronds, typically in shades of pink or purplish-red, forming intricate, branching structures. They grow attached to substrates like rocks or corals, often forming dense clumps or turfs. Amphiroa play a vital role in reef ecosystems and can contribute to the natural structure and biodiversity of your aquarium.

Care Level

Average. Amphiroa spp. are generally considered hardy but require stable, mature aquarium conditions. They are sensitive to fluctuations in water parameters and are best suited for experienced aquarists who can maintain a consistent environment.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 50 litres (approximately 13 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable salinity, moderate water flow, and good lighting conditions to encourage healthy growth. Keep water parameters stable, with a specific gravity of 1.023-1.026.

Diet

As photosynthetic organisms, Amphiroa spp. derive their primary nutrition from light. Supplementation is generally not required if the aquarium is well-maintained with appropriate lighting and water quality.
