Grouped on a piece of driftwood it looks like a cluster of pale blossoms, a bright accent that stands out in any green scape. Like all anubias it grows from a rhizome, needs no CO2, and is attached to wood or rock rather than planted in the substrate. It comes as a clean \u003cstrong\u003etissue culture cup\u003c\/strong\u003e, grown in a sterile lab so it is free of snails, algae, and pesticides, and safe for shrimp tanks straight out of the cup.
