Marine plants and macro algae come in three color forms: brown, red, and green. Brown species are often kelp, while red and green types are generally smaller plants commonly found in seagrass and kelp beds. In a planted temperate aquarium good lighting and water flow is required for the long term survival of the species, as in any planted aquarium. This ensures light reaches the plant by removing any detritus or nuisance algae that may be present on the fronds or branches of the plant.
