Tabling Red Macroalgae
Tabling Red Macroalgae (Rhodophyllis divaricata)
Bring true collector-grade macroalgae into your reef with Rhodophyllis divaricata, a stunning rare tabling red macroalgae prized for its unique growth form. Unlike most ornamental reds that grow as flowing fronds, this species develops flat, branching plates that expand outward and layer over one another—often compared to the look of a tabling Montipora, but with an intense crimson-red color that stands out under reef lighting.
Its compact, structured branches create a dramatic, architectural centerpiece for display tanks. Under blue and actinic lighting, the red plates deepen into a rich, saturated glow, adding bold contrast to corals and rockwork while staying neat and controlled in form.
More than just beautiful, Rhodophyllis can also support nutrient management in your system:
- Helps consume nitrates and phosphates as it grows, supporting cleaner water.
- Provides surface area and shelter for pods and microfauna, boosting biodiversity.
- Typically grows in a stable, decorative shape rather than spreading aggressively.
This macro does best with moderate to strong lighting, good water movement, and stable reef parameters. Like many premium ornamental macros, it appreciates consistent nutrients and trace elements rather than ultra-stripped systems.
If you’re looking for a macroalgae that looks more like a sculptural reef organism than “plant life,” Rhodophyllis divaricata is one of the most distinctive and high-end choices you can add to a reef aquarium.
