Flag: Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) is not a true freshwater submersed aquarium plant. It's typically grown floating at the surface or emersed with roots in water and foliage above, tolerates brackish to full saltwater long-term, and is most commonly used in refugiums, paludariums, or as a floating novelty short-term in freshwater. Zero source content — flagged for Henry to confirm this belongs in the Aquarium Plants category.
