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.

*Please note that while we go to great lengths to treat, quarantine and remove any unwanted parasites, hitchhikers, and other organisms from our red ogo macroalgae we do not guarantee that this item is completely and totally free of anything unwanted. This is because sometimes spores, eggs, etc can remain viable but not visible, despite our strict quarantine procedure. We strive to have the cleanest and highest quality macroalgae on the market. AlgaeBarn always recommends that you properly quarantine anything new before adding it to your tank. All of our macroalgae, and everything else we sell comes with a 100% Alive On Arrival Guarantee.

The batch of ogo was maroon red and full. It hardly had any broken pieces. It was all attached in nice full red clumps. It looked so good that I ended up putting half of it in my tank and the other half in the refugium. I also bought the galaxy pods and they are thriving well. Just a few weeks now and the glass looks infested with pods. Love it.

Probably the best packaging I've seen to date for anything live! Further, the Red Ogo & Pom Pom I got was unbelievably healthy! They claimed a golf ball size but that must be a special golf ball made for giants. The jars were slam full of it and at least 3 times what I was expecting. If it goes sour from here it 100% on me being a newb.

I love this stuff. Grows better than chaeto in my refugium (is nicer looking and smells better too), and my tangs and foxface love it when I trim some and put it in the tank.

Loved this stuff, ulva took over my fuge so this was feed to my tang and fox face.

Tommy

YES...it comes in a million pieces sorta, but i just take a rubberband and strap it to a piece of live rock and leave it in my tank. I have 5 rocks that have Red Ogo strapped to it and ALL my tangs love it.
