Description: Pencil Tip is a heavily calcified macroalgae that grows up out of the sandbed in the aquarium. This species is very unpalatable to most marine fish & invertebrates, & most fish (with the exception of some large tangs) will not bother this species. You should research your livestock & compatibility prior to purchasing. Pencil Tip, as with most calcareous algae species, require elevated calcium levels in the aquarium. We keep our species at around 400-450ppm. It is a somewhat slow grower, but if calcium levels are right, it will grow at a moderate pace by sending up “shoots” from beneath the sandbed.
