Chaetomorpha
In taxonomy, ''Chaetomorpha'', also called Chaeto for short, is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Cladophoraceae.〔See the NCBI (webpage on Chaetomorpha ). Data extracted from the (【引用サイトリンク】 title=NCBI taxonomy resources )〕
==Aquarium hobby usage==
''Chaetomorpha'' is especially common in saltwater aquariums because it can be used for removal of nutrients, especially nitrates. Aquarists will commonly house this alga, perhaps with others, in a refugium. Once it has grown to a significant mass, a chunk of the algae is removed to be thrown out or donated to another aquarist, taking the nutrients it has absorbed out of the system. ''Chaetomorpha'' is preferred over other macroalgae such as ''Caulerpa'' because it is less likely than ''Caulerpa'' to undergo sexual reproduction in the aquarium. It is also easy to remove because it will not attach to rocks or substrates. In a study run by Casey Campbell, it was shown that coal bed methane is filtered by chaetomoropha. In addition to nutrient export, chaetomorpha is known to host beneficial amphipods which can subsequently be used as a food source for corals and animals that may reside within the aquarium.
Chaetomorpha can, alternatively, be replaced by an algae scrubber.
