Chaetomorpha algae, commonly known as Green Hair Algae or Spaghetti Algae due to its appearance, is a notable macroalgae found in reef tank aquariums. It acts as a natural filter, contributing to the ecosystem's health by processing nutrient buildup. Chaetomorpha is favored for the refugium or as part of an aquarium's natural filtration system because of its rapid growth rate, ease of care, and beneficial properties. It can even serve as a food source for certain tank inhabitants. Additionally, it is "self-contained," growing in on itself without spreading over other surfaces or causing disarray.
It exhibits a vibrant green color, and the thickness and brightness of its filaments can indicate its health, with thicker branches being preferred.
