Reef Pro Live Chaetomorpha (Chaeto) Macroalgae – 1 Cup (Softball-Size Portion)
Improve your reef aquarium’s filtration naturally with premium, aquacultured Chaetomorpha (Chaeto) Macroalgae harvested fresh to order. Our Chaeto is grown in clean, controlled saltwater systems without chemicals, medications, or copper exposure — and shipped shortly after harvest to ensure you receive strong, healthy, fast-growing algae ready to begin nutrient export immediately.
What Chaeto Does For Your Tank
Chaetomorpha is one of the most effective natural filtration tools in the reef hobby. Adding it to your sump or refugium helps:
Reduce nitrates (NO3) and phosphates (PO4) naturally
Prevent nuisance algae in the main display tank
Improve water clarity and overall water quality
Support coral color, growth, and polyp extension
Provide habitat for copepods and amphipods
Stabilize pH and increase oxygen levels
Create a more balanced, resilient ecosystem
Why Our Chaeto Is Better Than Typical Online Sellers
Not all Chaeto is equal. Many sellers online ship algae that has been sitting for weeks in buckets, harvested from random hobby systems, or grown outdoors where pests and contaminants thrive. Ours stands apart because:
✔ Harvested Fresh For Every Order
Our Chaeto is cut and packaged right before shipping — not weeks in advance. This ensures:
Stronger structure
Healthier color
Faster growth once added to your tank
Higher efficiency at nitrate & phosphate export
Fresh Chaeto establishes faster and performs better than algae that has been stored and starved.
✔ Aquacultured in Clean, Controlled Systems
Our algae is grown indoors in stable saltwater environments, monitored daily. We do not wild-collect or purchase from random hobby tanks, meaning:
No aiptasia
No bubble algae (Valonia)
No bryopsis
No flatworms
No parasite eggs
No surprise hitchhikers
This gives you a cleaner, safer product.
📌 Why Buy From Reef Pro?
Because you are getting:
Freshly harvested Chaeto — not stored long-term
Professionally aquacultured product
No chemicals, no copper, no medications
Cleaner, safer macroalgae
Better value and better results
A trustworthy source used by real reef professionals
Many online sellers provide algae that has been sitting in a dark bucket for months or grown in questionable systems. We deliver living macroalgae that arrives ready to work.
Chaeto Algae removes both nitrates and phosphates from saltwater. To help increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use medium to high lighting, and maintain it in an area of moderate water-flow. Chaeto is completely reef/saltwater aquarium safe. It is also a great habitat for copepods and amphipods which provide natural food for your aquarium.
Best packaging I’ve seen to date. Nice thick chunk of Chaeto. I won’t be using anyone else as long as I can remember lol

Awesome stuff! Great quality!
This stuff is awesome! Came in super green with ZERO noticeable pests. I recently set up my first ever refugium in my AIO and the chaeto is kicking my nitrates butt. Growing great and helping greatly with my nitrate issue!!

Just Buy it already!
I have been having issues with my nitrates and so I made a diy chaeto reactor and was needing clean chaeto and this was the answer! After 5 days my nitrate has dropped 60% in a heavily fed Red Sea 200XL! Now I’m worried about how I’m going to keep the chaeto fed because it is chewing through my nitrates and phosphates! This chaeto is clean and healthy. It keeps the nitrate and phosphate ratio perfectly.

I had an issue with my first Oder because of shipment delay with UPS. Fished unfortunately arrived DOA. I immediately reached out to Reef Pro and they responded in a few minutes. Went above and beyond my expectations getting replacement shipped. Great costumer service!! Will definitely order from them again!! Make sure to get the shipping insurance.
Was part of my first Oder with Reef Pro. There was a UPS delay that caused my order to be a day late. Unfortunately the fish was barely alive and did not survive. I had 2 other fish in order as well but they were both DOA. I immediately reached out to Reef Pro and sent pictures. They responded in a few minutes!! They went above and beyond my expectations. Getting me replacement fish shipped to me with in 24hrs!!! My first order but not my last thanks to great customer service!! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Always get the shipping insurance!
I’ve had this fish for about four months now, and it has been fantastic. It arrived super healthy and was already eating pellets right from the start. After a full observation period, the fish remained completely clean with no signs of disease.
For a sensitive species like the White Cheek, that’s impressive. I would 100% recommend this seller based on my experience.
