Cape Lopez Lyretail
Aphyosemion australe
Carpenter's Fairy Wrasse
Paracheilinus carpenteri
Caudopunctatus Cichlid
Neolamprologus caudopunctatus
Caulerpa
Caulerpa prolifera
Fast-growing macroalgae with flat, oval blades on creeping runners. Excellent nutrient export and refugium algae. Can go 'sexual' under stress — turning milky white and releasing gametes, causing a tank crash. Keep under 24h light or harvest regularly to prevent this. Widely available and very effective.
Cebu Blue Pothos
Epipremnum pinnatum
Celebes Halfbeak
Nomorhamphus liemi
Celebes Rainbowfish
Marosatherina ladigesi
Celestial Eye Goldfish
Carassius auratus
Ceratophyllum Submersum
Ceratophyllum submersum
Chaetomorpha
Chaetomorpha linum
The most popular refugium algae in the reef hobby — tumbling masses of stiff, wire-like bright green strands. Grows rapidly, exporting nitrates and phosphates as it's harvested. Provides a habitat for copepods and amphipods that migrate into the display tank as live food. Extremely hardy.
Chalice Coral
Echinophyllia sp.
Champs Élysées Pothos
Epipremnum aureum 'Champs-Élysées'
Chara (Stonewort)
Chara sp.
Not a true alga but a charophyte — an evolutionary stepping stone between algae and land plants. Whorled branches on brittle stems; produces a distinctive musky smell when crushed. Tolerates very hard, alkaline water that many plants cannot. Often kept deliberately in biotope setups for its unique look.
