NewCal Natraj Wood is a type of driftwood often used in aquariums and terrariums for decorative and functional purposes. It is valued for its intricate shapes and natural appearance, which can enhance the aesthetic appeal of an enclosure. This wood resembles other types of driftwood commonly used in pet habitats, such as Malaysian or mopani wood.

Characteristics of Natraj Wood:

• Aesthetic Appeal: It often features interesting and complex shapes, providing a natural look that can create focal points in your setup.
• Tannin Release: Like other driftwoods, Natraj Wood can release tannins into the water, which might soften the water and lower the pH. This change can be beneficial for some fish and aquatic species that thrive in such conditions.
• Durability: It is generally durable in both dry and aquatic environments, making it suitable for long-term use.

Uses:

• Aquariums: Provides hiding places for fish and supports biofilm and algae growth, which can be beneficial to certain aquatic species.
• Terrariums: Offers climbing structures for reptiles and amphibians and augments the visual aesthetics of the habitat.

Before use, it's recommended to clean Natraj Wood thoroughly to remove any possible contaminants and to soak or boil it to release any excess tannins and ensure it sinks effectively in aquariums.
