Caring for the animals and ensuring they arrive healthy is our top priority. Therefore, we only ship live animals via UPS Next Day Air on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. This minimizes the possibility the animals will be sitting in a shipping carrier distribution center over a weekend. Shipping centers can have varying temperatures that can put an animal's health at risk so we want to minimize their time there. We will ship the following week if you place an order on a weekend.

We also monitor for extreme temperatures across the country before we ship animals. If you live in a part of the country experiencing extreme heat or cold temperatures, we will work with you to ensure we avoid shipping on days that have a high chance of putting your new animal's health at risk.

As we get your animals ready for their journey to you, we will send you emails so you can track them along the way. Please have a plan to be home upon their arrival and to acclimate them as soon as they arrive so they are ready to thrive in their new environment.

Overview

Sea Lettuce (Ulva) is a vibrant green algae that grows in delicate, translucent sheets. Known for its fast growth and rich nutrient content, it is an excellent source of food for herbivorous fish. A clip is recommended to hold it in place while fish graze on it, preventing it from drifting in the water column and growing inside the main display aquarium.

While Sea Lettuce is popular as fish food, it is not the best macroalgae for use in refugiums. Due to its rapid growth and tendency to clog equipment, it should be housed in a separate holding tank to avoid obstructing baffles or filters. Its primary function is to provide a nutritious, aquacultured food source for herbivorous fish, making it an ideal supplement to their diet. It should not be used as a substitute for other macroalgae like Chaeto or Dragon's Breath, which are better suited for nutrient export in refugium systems.
