The acrochaetioid algae above was found growing epiphytically on a Cladophora species in a lowershore rockpool at Chimney Rocks, Penzance, Cornwall. 30.04.18.
According to my sources acrochaetioid algae cannot reliably be identified from images and apparently even with samples some cannot be reliably identified by experts. Images are placed here merely to illustrate examples of acrochaetioid algae.
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
