General environment
This is a Marine species.
Description
Membranous, flat, bright red fronds, to 150 mm high, irregularly dichotomously branched. Small discoid base and short (less than 10 mm) cylindrical tipe. Bladses with rounded apices, crisped parallel margins, segments shortly stalked with indistinct midrib. Fronds generally encrusted with the circular tube-forming worm Spirorbis, bryozoans, epiphytic algae, etc.
Habitat
Frequent in shady pools in lower intertidal and on rock subtidally to 30 m.
Similar species
A northern species, Coccotylus truncatus (Pallas) Wynne et Heine (formerly Phyllophora truncata) is frequent inwestern Scotland, and in the north of England and Wales to Durham and Anglesey; it is occasionally found in western Ireland south to Achill Island and Clare Island. This species is easily distinguished by its gradually expanding stipe.
