## Description

8 live red mangrove seedlings (Rhizophora mangle) with roots, grown in a licensed Florida nursery. They can be kept in saltwater, brackish water or freshwater, and are used in aquariums, refugiums, sumps, reef tanks and ponds, where they take up nitrate and other nutrients from the water as they grow. Their roots also give copepods and amphipods a place to live. Care: keep the roots in water and the leaves above the waterline, and give the plants bright light. If you plant them outdoors, in direct sun or under a very bright grow light, acclimate them gradually over about two weeks so the leaves don't scorch. As with any live plant, height, leaf count and root shape vary from plant to plant.

## Features

- Eight Live Red Mangroves: rooted Rhizophora mangle seedlings grown in a licensed Florida nursery
- Natural Aquarium Filtration: takes up nitrate and phosphate from the water as it grows, a planted option alongside chaeto and other macroalgae
- Salt, Brackish or Fresh Water: grows in refugiums, sumps, reef tanks, fish tanks, paludariums and outdoor ponds
- Pod Habitat: the root system gives copepods and amphipods shelter in a refugium or sump
- Frost Sensitive, Naturally Variable: grow indoors, or outdoors only where winters stay above freezing; height, leaf count and root shape vary from plant to plant
