General environment
This is a Marine species.
Description
Thin, dark-red crust, to 30 mm diam.; frequently with concentric surface markings. Relatively loosely attached to the substrate with a well-developed layer of lime on lower surface.
Habitat
On calcareous encrusting algae and Laminaria hyperborea holdfasts, lower intertidal, widely distributed on western and southern coasts, not uncommon.
Epilithic, epiphytic on encrusting corallines, Laminaria holdfasts and occasionally Gracilaria verrucosa etc, and on shells; in shallow pools in lower littoral, on pebbles in sheltered areas, sublittoral to 16 m tolerating a wide range of exposure to currents and wave action (Irvine & Maggs 1983: 59)
Key characteristics
Loose attachment to the substratum, presence of concentric markings on the surface of the thallus.
Similar species
Five species of Peyssonnelia are found in the British Isles and all require expert identification;P. dubyi seems to be the commonest and most widely distributed.
