Oceana serrulata
Also called Serrate Leafed Ribbon Grass
Oceana serrulata is a marine seagrass, the only species in its genus, found in shallow tropical seawater from the Red Sea and East Africa across to the western Pacific. It is grown only in marine aquaria or restoration settings, not as a garden plant, and needs full seawater conditions and bright light.
Oceana serrulata, commonly known as serrated ribbon seagrass, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cymodoceaceae. It is the sole species in genus Oceana. It is a marine rhizomatous hydrogeophyte native to the western and central Indo-Pacific region, ranging from the Red Sea and East African coast to Madagascar, tropical Asia, northern Australia, and the western Pacific.
