Acid Rain (Halymenia Dilatata) – also known as Orange Galaxy / Augophyllum wysorii – is a stunning red algae with golden speckles that shimmer under aquarium lighting (blue spectrum). This rare and delicate species adds vibrant color and movement to any reef or refugium setup. Note that the algae may lose some golden dots color due to shipping, but it will recover quickly under proper conditions.
- Each frag is at least 3 inches (size in the second and third picture for reference)Growth Conditions:
- Thrives under blue light with moderate flow, high lighting, and sufficient nutrients.
- This algae remains free-floating in my refugium. I cannot confirm whether it will attach to rocks.
Shipping Policy:
Due to its delicate nature, it will only be shipped on Mondays via FedEx 2Day in an insulated envelope to ensure safe arrival.Weather Caution:
Acid Rain is a delicate species, and extreme temperatures can be fatal. Even with an insulated envelope, temperatures above 90°F or below 40°F may cause the algae to perish. If your local temperatures are expected to be outside this range, please notify me in advance so we can arrange:✅ A delayed shipment until conditions improve; OR✅ An upgrade to Next Day Air (additional charges may apply)Since I run this as a hobby, I’m unable to monitor the weather for each order. If the algae arrives DOA due to extreme temperatures and I was not informed beforehand, DOA coverage will be voided.DOA Policy:
Dead-on-arrival (DOA) coverage applies to algae death reported within 2 hours of package delivery. Please ensure you open the package promptly and check the condition of the algae upon arrival. To claim a replacement/refund, contact me within the 2-hour window with clear photos. Unfortunately, claims made beyond this timeframe cannot be accommodated.
