Burning Bush Macroalgae

Burning Bush Macroalgae is a richly textured red macroalgae celebrated for its dense, fine branching structure and deep ember-red coloration. Its tightly interwoven fronds form a rounded, cushion-like colony that resembles a glowing bush — creating a bold, natural focal point in reef aquariums.

As it matures, this species develops into a thick, compact mass of branching filaments that radiate outward in all directions, giving it a soft yet visually dense appearance. In addition to its ornamental appeal, Burning Bush Macroalgae contributes to natural nutrient export while remaining reef-safe, non-invasive, and easy to maintain in both refugiums and display systems.
