Augophyllum wysorii
Augophyllum wysorii (Orange Galaxy)
“Orange Galaxy” is a beautiful macroalgae with bright orange to pink tones that truly glow under blue spectrum lighting. Its blades are dotted with tiny iridescent specks - like a galaxy of stars shimmering in your tank. This macro grows at a moderate rate and is a great choice for both display tanks and refugiums, adding color, texture, and nutrient export to your system.

Coloration Note:
The glowing “galaxy” effect comes from tiny specks on the blades, which shimmer most vividly under blue or full-spectrum lighting.
Please note: specimens grown under full-spectrum light may arrive without visible speckling, but the iridescent glow will develop over time once placed under blue lighting conditions.
