The
Latin name Enteromorpha means intestine shaped. This particular
macro algae is in the same family as Ulva and features
elongated, cylindrical appendages that form a tube shape. It grows in small clumps attached by a single
holdfast in shallow coastal environments. This species is very palatable to both fish
and invertebrates. It should be anchored to prevent it from
clogging filters and pumps as its very delicate and can fragment
easily. You will receive several small clusters with some attached
to shells.
