This fabulous marine plant is an interesting addition to any aquarium or refugium. Each plant shoots up from a strong runner. It is exciting to watch as new plants spring up from the ends of the runner. It grows best with good quality, strong lighting for at least 8-10/ hrs a day. Turtle grass requires a good six inch+, mature sand bed for optimal root structure. Seahorses and other little creatures love to hang out around it's broad leaves. Purchase a cup or two of the substrate from which it grows in the wild. Turtle grass will go through a month or two acclimation stage upon it's relocation. We have had years of experience harvesting and keeping this grass. Please contact us with any question or comment.
