A distinctive green algae that is in the family Ulvales<\/em>. It’s both a temperate and tropical species, abundant in different forms worldwide. This particular algae features long, slippery tubes or fingers rising from the center of the plant attached by a single holdfast. The Latin term “Enteromorpha<\/em>” literally means intestine-shaped. It grows in large clumps at the low tide zone on mangrove roots and coarse substrate. It tolerates a wide range of salinities from 17 ppt. to 40 ppt. and is often found at the base of rivers and brackish water estuaries. Like other species of Ulva, it prefers cooler water temperatures in the aquarium and will not do well in temps over 80 degrees. Like other varieties, its very palatable to fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
