sheet red seaweed Halymenia maculata Family Halymeniaceae updated Aug 10 Where seen? Like frilly sheets, clumps of this seaweed is often seen on our Southern shores, attached to coral rubble. Features: Each blade about 8-10cm long, somewhat stiff. The portion near the base is flat but towards the edges it forms short flat branches with very frilly edges. The surface has little, regular bumps all over it. Colours from dull greyish brown to chocolate brown and purplish; also bright yellowish or orangey brown. |
