About this item
Green Sea Lettuce Ulva Macroalgae
Green Sea Lettuce (Ulva spp.) macroalgae is a bright green sheet-forming macroalgae widely known for its fast growth and exceptional nutrient uptake in marine aquariums. Its thin, translucent blades resemble lettuce leaves, giving the algae its distinctive and recognizable appearance.
Ulva grows as soft leafy sheets that can attach lightly to rock, substrate, or tumble freely in refugiums. These broad blades efficiently absorb nitrate and phosphate while also providing natural grazing material for herbivorous fish and invertebrates, making it both functional and visually appealing.
