Its branching, antler-like structure adds texture, while under full spectrum lighting it develops a subtle blue-green sheen that gives it an iridescent edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis species grows readily and establishes quickly, making it a great option for macro enthusiasts looking to expand beyond the usual reds and greens. However, with that fast growth comes a need for control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCanistrocarpus cervicornis can become invasive in closed systems and is not recommended for refugiums or reef tanks.
