Sea Lettuce (Ulva lactuca): The Most Underappreciated Macroalgae?

by greg.chernoff

The use of macroalgae in marine aquaria has steadily increased over the years. Ever since they have become more widespread in the aquarium hobby, they are increasingly being cultivated for specialized purposes. This specialization has generated the demand for a more diverse selection of “macros” with each species being preferred for a particular application.

Some of these species are indeed well-suited for their special role. Even so, others are highly desirable as all-purpose seaweeds. These types of macroalgae are most appealing for aquarists who have smaller refugia or desire simplicity. They should additionally be hardy, easy to grow and simple to maintain. The green algae Ulva lactuca most certainly fits this bill.
