Ask Finn

Feathery, pinkish-white tufts of jointed calcified branches — a beautiful encrusting coralline relative that forms soft mats on rockwork. Provides habitat for tiny amphipods and copepods. A common and welcome hitchhiker on Mediterranean and Atlantic live rock. Tolerates cooler water than most corallines.
