description Champia parvula Overview
Champia parvula is a small marine red alga in the family Champiaceae. Its soft, gelatinous fronds are pinkish red, much branched, and densely matted; the cylindrical axes are segmented and contain watery mucilage, with nodal diaphragms separating the segments. Records describe it as epiphytic on smaller algae in lower intertidal pools and subtidal habitats, and the name is accepted taxonomically, although some Atlantic populations may require molecular comparison for confident identification.
