Sea lettuce – mineral-rich green algae for your invertebrates

Green algae sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca)also known as sea lettuce is a multicellular green algae found in many of the world’s oceans. In nature, it often grows on stones, mussels or other types of algae and forms dense green algae patches.

These nutrients can be a useful supplement to the normal diet of many terrarium inhabitants. Especially Isopods, snails, millipedes and other decomposers readily accept algae food and benefit from the mineral-rich composition.

Another advantage of sea lettuce is its natural structure. The thin algae leaves are easy to decompose and are therefore ideal as supplementary food in bioactive terrariums.

Application

Before feeding, it is advisable to soak the leaves soak the leaves in water for about 10-15 minutes. The sea lettuce swells considerably and can be grow to four times its original size.

Soaking softens the leaf tissue, making it easier for the animals to decompose and decompose and eat it more easily. At the same time, the leaves absorb water, which provides the animals with additional water when feeding. Absorb moisture.

Especially in bioactive terrariums sea lettuce supplements the natural diet of the ground police and provides additional variety in the food supply.

With Green algae sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) you offer your invertebrates a natural, mineral-rich supplementary foodthat comes from the sea and provides many important nutrients.
