About this item

Maiden's Hair (Turtle Weed) Reef Grass Macroalgae

Maiden's Hair Reef Grass Macroalgae (Chlorodesmis sp.) is a rare and highly sought-after ornamental macroalgae recognized for its dense, hair-like tufts and vibrant emerald green coloration. Individual fronds grow upright from a small holdfast, forming compact clusters that resemble miniature underwater shrubs.

This unique species adds natural texture and contrast to reef aquascapes, with its soft, bushy structure standing out against more rigid or leafy macroalgae. Its distinctive growth form creates a refined, high-end look ideal for display-focused macroalgae systems.


Available Options

Small Rock Colony

  • Small rooted clump or fragment
  • 1–2 hair-like tufts growing from a holdfast
  • Ideal for establishing Maiden’s Hair Macroalgae in new areas

Large Rock Colony

  • Established cluster of multiple flowing fronds
  • Denser growth forming a fuller display colony
  • Suitable for immediate aquascaping or refugium placement

Special Considerations

Maiden’s Hair Macroalgae produces natural defensive compounds that many herbivorous fish avoid grazing on. This allows it to maintain its ornamental structure in aquariums where other macroalgae may be consumed, making it an excellent choice for display systems with tangs or other algae-eating species.

🌱 Propagation

Maiden's Hair Macroalgae spreads through fragmentation and holdfast growth:

  • Small fragments can attach to nearby rock or rubble
  • New hair-like fronds grow from the base holdfast
  • Colonies expand gradually as additional tufts develop
