Where
seen?
This broad ribbon-like red seaweed is often seen on our Southern shores,
attached to coral rubble near reefs.
Features: Clump of large stiff
crinkly blades, each about 15-20cm long. The blade has a flat ribbon-like
central portion with flat narrower side-branches that also branch
further into Y-shapes. Red, sometimes orange. Although each clump
may be large, the clumps are scattered. |
