About Aegagropila linnaei

Aegagropila linnaei is a peculiar little aquarium plant. It is a ball-shaped species of green algae with a velvety surface. This round form is rarely found in nature, where the species usually grows in flatter, carpet-like colonies. The ball shape is created by gentle wave action along the substrate.
