 Sargassum
is one of the few brown algae species that can be kept in the
aquarium. It features a golden brown coloration with pointed
fronds. Most species have air bladders that keep the plant upright
but they are sometimes absent on deeper water specimens we
collect. Unlike the floating species this form is attached to hard
bottom from a single holdfast. It needs an environment with very
intense lighting, but can also be kept under full spectrum lights
if placed near the top of the water. Plants are sold as individual specimens and are approx
6-8" tall.
