Indikator für gut eingefahrende Aquarien . Wachsen Kalkrotalgen gut , sollte es auch mit den meißten Steinkorallen klappen . Benötigt aber ausreichende Mengen von Strontium . Wächst selbst an schlechter beleuchteten Stellen und verbackt Steine miteinander .

Sehr dekorativ, jedoch genauso hartnäckig an den Scheiben.
Man sollte die Scheibenreinigung nicht vernachlässigen, wenn man eine Chance haben will :-)
