Description

This sample of iridescent algae was found in a shallow tidepool. The algae blade was very thin and displayed rainbow reflection when looked at from different angles. The blade was quite long, up to a foot in length but I could not locate its holdfast.

This pink coralline algae was found in a very small tide pool at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. This particular section of the algae was roughly 3.5 inches long. It appeared to be in good health with proper nutrient supplies.
