Ich habe von einem Freund ein Gutes Stück bekommen vor ca 1/2 Jahr. Sie wächst sehr gut aber nicht so schnell wie andere Algen somit wird sie auch nicht zu Plage. Du e sie fluorisiert sehr schön unter Blaulicht. Durch Ihre schleimschicht leider gehen bei mir auch die Doktoren an.

Ich habe ein schönes Büschel von Halymenia von meinem Händler bekommen. Erstaunlicherweise gehen weder die Doktorfische noch die Seeigel ran. Ein sehr dekoratives Element in meinem Becken.
