Porteria sp. (Red Lace Macroalgae)
Red Lace (Porteria sp.) is a delicate and beautifully textured red macroalgae known for its intricate, lace-like fronds. Its fine, branching structure sways gracefully in the current, adding movement and color to display tanks. The deep red to burgundy hues make it a standout choice for aquascaping and a favorite among macroalgae collectors. Though slightly more delicate than some species, it’s hardy once established under proper conditions.

Care Guide:

• Light: Moderate to high

• Flow: Gentle to medium (enough to keep fronds moving lightly)

• Placement: Rockwork or substrate in display or macroalgae-specific tanks

• Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Benefits: Adds vibrant red color, fine texture, and natural movement; aids in nutrient export

• Portion Size: Golf ball–sized clump per order

💡 Care Note:
Red Lace may appear slightly compact or dull after shipping but quickly regains its delicate structure and deep color once settled under good lighting and flow.
