Benefits

Free of parasites

All of our macroalgaes are kept in their own closed system. They are cleaned, treated, quarantined, and inspected before they are sent to you. This ensures that no unwanted pests & parasites make it into your tank.

Add color & texture

Red Ogo has a bright red & burgundy hue with long, branching, fronds that make for a beautiful addition to any display tank or refugium in need of a splash of color.

Remove excess nutrients

Red Ogo grows quickly and cleans your tank by consuming excess Nitrates & Phosphates for easy nutrient export. Balance your nutrient levels and watch your in-tank ecosystem thrive!

Description

Red Ogo Gracilaria Live Macroalgae

The Red Ogo (Gracilaria Parvispora) plant is an exceptionally beautiful macroalgae. Between bright red and burgundy in hue and graced with short bushy fronds, it adds a splash of color and texture to any refugium or saltwater aquarium. Red Ogo Gracilaria is a fast growing and hardy macroalgae when kept under proper conditions. It is also great for nutrient export in saltwater aquarium systems. Additionally, it is prized by many herbivorous fish keepers (especially tangs) as a healthy live seaweed food. Pro Tip: Red Ogo Gracilaria can be grown out in the refugium and new growth can be trimmed and fed to herbivorous fish as a tasty treat.

Excellent Quality and Fast Shipping!

I ordered Chaeto and Red Ogo from AlgaeBarn, and both arrived fresh, vibrant, and super healthy. The packaging was top-notch, and everything was clearly labeled.

Seems healthy, nice color.

Appears to be growing. A lot of loose pieces, but I’ve never had this variety before , so maybe that’s normal.

The other macro algae i have got from y'all was great the Red logo and turned white and is slowly falling apart

Hi, thank you for your review. It sounds like something else might be going on if one is thriving and the other is turning white and falling apart. Our team is well versed in all things macroalgae, and would love to help you trouble shoot and see if there isn't something we can do to keep that macro growing strong! You can email us at [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you soon!
