Sponges, Macroalgae & Anemones
Sponges are another great-looking addition one can make to tanks while also gaining overall benefits to the health of your aquarium. Some of the sponges and macroalgaes we carry here at The Reef Farm have some powerful filtration capabilities, such as the encrusting blue sponge incorporating cyanobacteria to grow – yes, it will actually absorb it out of your tank! Sponges and macroalgaes perform functions differently than corals, and this biodiversity promotes overall health among all tank inhabitants to stay healthy and continue to grow and thrive over time. Anemones and their hosting symbiotic relationship with clownfish are a dream for many, but not every set up is suited for an anemone. If you’re unsure which animals or plants would be best to put into your tank, give us a call or text. Even if you’re starting a new tank, we can give you some great ideas about what will work best in your setup.
