Live Dragon’s Breath Macroalgae — Halymenia sp.

Dragon’s Breath macroalgae is a red ornamental macroalgae valued for its branching, flame-like growth and display appeal. It can be used in a refugium or protected display area, where it adds movement and color while contributing to nutrient uptake as it grows.

Best for:
Macroalgae displays, refugiums, ornamental reef tanks, and hobbyists who want a premium red macroalgae.

Care guidance:
Provide moderate light.
Provide moderate water movement.
Keep it secured or protected so it does not tumble into pumps or overflows.
Avoid placing it where herbivorous fish can immediately consume it.
Remove any declining or melting tissue.
Do not allow damaged macroalgae to decay unnoticed in the aquarium.

Identification note:
Dragon’s Breath is commonly sold in the aquarium trade as Halymenia durvillei, but unless the exact species is confirmed, Kaimana Reefworks lists it conservatively as Halymenia sp.

Arrival guidance:
Some compression, color shift, or minor tissue stress can occur during shipping. Place into clean saltwater with appropriate light and water movement promptly after arrival. Remove any damaged or decaying tissue before adding it to the aquarium.

Important:
This is a live product. Availability may vary based on culture growth and harvest timing.
