Benötigt etwas (!) Phosphat und Spurenelemente im Wasser, wächst dann aber stetig. Entwickelt sich unter mässigem Licht besser. Falls nicht von Doktoren gefressen, dann nur noch an unzugänglichen Stellen aufzufinden. Nicht hoch werdend. Füllt sich etwas schleimig an.
An Stellen mit relativ viel Licht erhält meine sp. eine weiße Schicht (Kalk?, Schutzschicht?).
