description Sphacelaria cirrosa Overview
Sphacelaria cirrosa is a small filamentous brown alga in the family Sphacelariaceae. It commonly grows as an epiphyte on other algae or on hard coastal surfaces, forming fine, branched threads rather than a broad blade. The species is identified in part by its vegetative propagules, which may develop into conspicuous forked or star-like structures and allow reproduction without relying only on sexual organs. It is associated with temperate marine shores.
