Cladophora aegargropila "Marimo Ball" Live Algae Ball

The algae ball I received was even bigger and healthier than I had hoped for! It makes a great addition to my tank, and I look forward to ordering more live plants from this seller again.

The Marimo Ball came during cold weather, but it was shipped thoughtfully and well with a little heat pack, so it was in great shape when I got it.

I love this thing. It's a lovely shade of green, and it's nice to look at in my tank.

I ordered the medium (the only size available) but it was definitely much bigger than I was expecting. Medium is a relative term so I had no idea what I was going to get. But my Marimo Ball must be maybe even 2" in diameter. As I said it's very healthy, green on all sides.

I've had it for a month, I think, and it's just peacefully doing its thing.

I did have a problem when I got it. My mollies thought it was a snack bar. They went to town on it. I didn't want to take it out of my tank, so I got a clear, 3 or 4 inch tall, plain 6 oz drinking glass (sort of like a highball glass only a bit rounder) and put that in the tank then set the Marimo Ball in the glass. So I can see it but the fish don't go in the glass too often so it's not getting eaten.

The problem with my little trick is that food gets in there, and the Marimo Ball doesn't roll around on its own. But it didn't roll around in the tank anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. I have a special long handled wooden spoon that I use to plant plants and arrange things. So I just sort of stir over the Marimo Ball with the spoon and create a little vortex to clean out the food from underneath, and turn the ball to a different side to get some light.

It's definitely worth the money for what you get. It's lovely and peaceful and a beautiful green. And it's really easy to take care of. Highly recommended. :)

This seller is amaaaazinggg!

The marimo ball is a little larger than 2 inches (I bought the medium sized one), it arrived dark green as pictured, and after a few weeks of being in my betta tank, it's still as green as ever! It came in a sealed plastic bag with heat packs around it.

I bought this because I'm a biology geek.... but for people who are buying it for a tank:

I originally kept the ball in a small bowl to 'cleanse' it, i suppose, before I introduced it into my betta tank. It did just fine in a few days of unfiltered 65 degree water (room temperature). It's been in my tank with filtered, 80 degree water for a few weeks now, and it's doing just fine.

I was worried a bit about it introducing new algae into my tank or spreading algae like mad. I have no filter system, just a 1.5 gallon tank, and I replace the water every week. I've had absolutely no problem with algae infestations (contrary to what pet stores might tell you). My fish actually loves the ball, he wedges himself next to it to rest a lot.

It definitely makes an awesome conversation piece!
