It features a lightly calcified stem that hosts a single disc like appendage. There are many species of this unique algae, some with more pronounced cup shaped tops and varying shades of green coloration. When removed from the water, care must be taken as the tops can not be supported by the thin stem and will often break off. New colonies can be started by a single disc, although the growth is very slow. Specimens grow in shallow, protected environments often attached to shells, mangrove roots and other hard surfaces. This species requires a brightly lit, protected area to grow successfully in the aquarium. It can be difficult to harvest as most specimens are attached to rocks, roots and other hard surfaces. The easiest method for collection is to find it growing on a shell or another species of algae. Unfortunately, the lifespan of this species is very short lived and rarely survive very long in captivity.<\/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\/wineglass3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\" width=\"399\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wineglass3-1.jpg 319w, https:\/\/wp.marineplantbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wineglass3-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 85vw, 399px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific Name: <em>Acetabularia Sp.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Name: Mermaids Wine Glass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin: Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, Caribbean<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depth Collected: 1-10 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: Minimal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperature: 78-86<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propagation: Fragmentation, Sporulation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Value: Not Very Palatable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nutrient Uptake: Poor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flow Rate: Low<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acetabularia is a unique and beautiful species of green algae.
