Marine Plants

Marine plants (macroalgae) come in three main colors: brown, red, and green. Brown species are often known as kelp. While red and green types are generally smaller plants covering rocks and the sea floor. In a planted temperate aquarium good lighting is required for the long term survival of the plant as with any planted aquarium.
