Scientific Name: Cryptocoryne lutea

Common Name: Crypt Lutea

Cryptocoryne lutea is a hardy crypt that develops upright, lance-shaped leaves in shades of green to bronze depending on lighting. Compared to other crypts, lutea benefits from moderate light and stands tall rather than sprawling, making it a versatile choice for foreground to midground placement in the botanical method, biotope, and blackwater aquariums. Because of its height, it is a good choice for placing between hardscape, as it will emerge between rocks or tangled roots just as plants would in nature.

Cryptocoryne lutea is a slow-growing plant that spreads steadily through runners beneath the substrate. Once planted, it prefers stability and should not be disturbed, as moving it often causes melt. Providing a nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs in sand-based aquarium substrates helps sustain healthy growth and coloration. Over time, small colonies form, creating a natural look that mimics shallow, shaded streams in their native South Asian habitats.

When first introduced, lutea may shed its emersed leaves, a normal stage known as “crypt melt.” Fresh submerged growth will emerge as the plant adjusts to its new conditions.

Great sunscreen
Size: Pack of 1
Love it! Not greasy, rubs in well, & doesn't smell. Doesn't leave the typical white sheen if you blend in well. Great to add foundation over. Ingredients are less chemicaly than other products.

BEST lip sunscreen I have ever used
Size: Pack of 1
best lip sunscreen I have ever used. Currently in/on Curaçao and no burn! Was out all day yesterday in the sun and this stick was only reapplied 3 times between 8am and 4pm. Reef safe too, that is important to me!

Good protection, water resistant
Size: Pack of 1
I love their products. This is no exception. Used it recently in the Caribbean and Florida. Did a great job of protecting my lips and also seemed to have some resistance to washing off when I was swimming or snorkeling.
