About this item
Atomic Broccoli Macroalgae
Atomic Broccoli Macroalgae (Augophyllum wysorii) is one of the most visually striking and conversation-starting macroalgae available in the reef hobby, celebrated for its dense, ruffled crimson fronds and dazzling orange-gold sparkle pattern. This bold red macroalgae forms lush, broccoli-like clusters of deeply lobed, ruby-red fronds speckled throughout with vivid orange and gold spots that catch and radiate light — creating a glittering, gem-like display unlike anything else in the aquarium.
Beyond its stunning appearance, Atomic Broccoli is a highly effective nutrient exporter, actively removing nitrates and phosphates while adding natural texture and color to refugiums and display tanks alike. It thrives when tumbled in a refugium with ample water movement and quality white lighting — conditions that bring out its signature sparkle to the fullest. Hardy, fast-growing, and non-invasive, it is an exceptional choice for reef keepers looking to combine beauty with biological function.
