Description
Merman’s shaving brush, Penicillus pyriformis, is a common, shallow water marine algae found throughout the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic. As it’s name suggests, it looks like an old fashioned shaving brush. It really adds a nice touch to any kind of aquarium and it normally left alone by most fish but it can get a “hair cut” by a hungry sea urchin. This macroalgae actually helps to reduce nitrates and phosphates but also requires supplemental feed with trace elements. Most customers plant them in their sand bed or you can also add them to your refugium.

I ordered 2 of these and they also sent me 1 pine brush. I love little bonuses! It’s in my tank now. Makes me want to order something else just to see what you guys throw in. I’ll be back!

I received my shipment the next day and in very good condition. Very happy with this product. Not only it reduces nitrates and phosphates, it also looks good in your tank.
