Ceratopteris Corunta (Emersed)
Ceratopteris Cornuta is a fast-growing and versatile aquarium fern known for its soft, bright green foliage and delicate branching leaf structure. Its lush natural appearance makes it an excellent background plant for planted aquariums, shrimp tanks, and jungle-style aquascapes.
As a hardy and adaptable aquarium plant, Ceratopteris Cornuta can be grown planted in substrate or floated at the surface, where it provides excellent cover for fry and shrimp while helping absorb excess nutrients from the aquarium. This emersed-grown specimen develops strong root systems and transitions well into aquarium conditions with proper care.
At N8 Aquatics, our plants are carefully quarantined before sale to help ensure they arrive healthy, clean, and pest-free.

Emersed vs Submersed — Which Grown Form Should You Choose?
Submersed plants are grown fully underwater and are already adapted to aquarium life, so they settle into a planted tank with minimal melt — the best pick for aquascapes and established aquariums.
Emersed plants are nursery-grown above the waterline, ideal for terrariums, paludariums and wabi-kusa. Submerged in an aquarium they typically melt back and regrow as submersed foliage — more so in low-tech tanks without added CO2 — but recover well with good lighting and nutrients.
