Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Gelidium robustum are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Gelidium robustum, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Gelidium robustum, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Gelidium is regarded to be one the genus with the most species.

Gelidium robustum growing from the intertidal to 15–20 m depth in areas of high water motion. Gelidium robustum is often covered with white encrusting Bryozoans. The color can be red to dark reddish-purple; branches are minimal near the base.

Synonymised names:
Gelidium cartilagineum var. robustum N.L.Gardner, 1927 · unaccepted
