Halimeda gracilis
This Halimeda a beautiful calcareous macroalgae found in Indonesia. Unlike most macros, Halimeda builds its structure with calcium, making it more like a living plant of the reef than a soft algae. It adds unique texture and a natural look to display tanks. It is often not palatable to fish and inverts making it a good choice for adding to reef tanks with herbivorous species.
