Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum Clips
Fluval's Plant and Shrimp Stratum Clips stand out for a low-profile design and shrimp-safe construction that makes them especially well suited to delicate nano and shrimp tanks where grip and minimal disturbance matter. Technically refined compared with generic silk-plant clips, they command a modest premium over Marina and SunGrow options but give better fit and finish for live-plant and invertebrate setups; they are a smart choice when you need precise, aquarium-safe performance. Compared to ADA/DOOA’s boutique hardware, Fluval offers similar functionality at broader retail reach and often a more accessible price point.
