Unlike other species of Halimeda, it grows exclusively on hard surfaces and not in sand substrate. This particular species is most often associated with collected and aqua cultured live rock. Like all species of calcareous algae it needs regular calcium supplementation for growth in the aquarium. It does not grow as quickly in the aquarium as other varieties, but is very hardy and attractive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/discoidea2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207\" width=\"321\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/discoidea2.jpg 301w, https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/discoidea2-177x300.jpg 177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 85vw, 321px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific Name: Halimeda discoidea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Name: Money Plant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin: Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth Collected: 3-100 Feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum Height : 10&#8243;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth Rate: Moderate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light: Moderate to High<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature: 76-86<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation: Fragmentation, Sporulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty: Easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Value: Not Very Palatable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutrient Uptake: Fair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flow Rate: Moderate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A heavily calcified algae that&#8217;s abundant in both shallow and deep water habitats to depths of 100 feet or more.
