It features dark green, finger-like uprights, that are spongy and fuzzy at the top. This particular algae makes its appearance in the hobby on collected live rock and individual specimens on small shells from both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. It grows in fairly shallow water and is somewhat delicate and prefers less current, often attaching to mangrove roots and coral fragments in protected waters. It does fairly well in the aquarium, but its growth rate is minimal so the efficiency of nutrient uptake is limited. Somewhat palatable, but usually left alone. Calcium supplementation is recommended to maintain this specimen in the aquarium.<\/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\/neomeris.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-316\" width=\"317\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/neomeris.jpg 342w, https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/neomeris-260x300.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 85vw, 317px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific Name: <em>Neomeris annulata<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Name:&nbsp; Finger Algae<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin: Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, Caribbean<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth Collected: 1 &#8211; 30 Feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maximum Height : 4&#8243;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growth Rate: Slow<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light: Moderate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature: 78-86<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation: Fragmentation, sporulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty: Moderate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Value: Somewhat palatable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutrient Uptake: Fair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flow Rate: Low<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An attractive, lightly calcified species of green macro algae that grows as small clusters or single solitary specimens.
