Red Galaxy Macroalgae is a unique and eye-catching macro known for its branching, calcified structure and deep red to pink coloration with a slightly speckled, “galaxy-like” appearance. Unlike soft, flowing macros, Red Galaxy has a more rigid, sculptural form, making it a standout accent in reef aquascapes. Its hardy nature and slow growth make it a popular choice for display tanks where long-term structure and color are desired.
