Common names

(as Hildenbrandia rubra (Sommerfelt) Meneghini)
Swedish: Havsstenhinna (Tolstoy & Österlund 2003).

Description
Description: Rose-red or brownish-red crusts, 0.2-0.5 mm thick, of indefinite extent, closely adherent to substrate, without rhizoids; without surface markings.

Habitat
On rocks and stones at all tidal levels, often in splash zone in caves, and subtidal, widely distributed, extemely abundant, particularly in upper shore where it appears to be very tolerant to extremes of temperature, light and salinity.

Key characteristics
Thin, extensive crust with irregular outlines; only red crust that grows on rock in the upper half of the shore.
