Red Grape Algae
Botryocladia sp.
Family: Rhodymeniaceae
📍 Tropical Indo-Pacific and Caribbean
Rare and coveted — clusters of translucent, deep-red spherical bladders like bunches of miniature grapes. A showpiece macroalgae that attaches to live rock. Slow-growing and sensitive; requires stable, high-quality water. Highly sought after for display refugia and naturally deters herbivorous fish.
