updated Jan 13

Where seen? This green seaweed is sometimes seen in clumps covering an area of about 20cm, on coral rubble among seagrasses on our Southern shores.

Features: Each stem about 4-6cm long with tiny bristles made up of many branched fine filaments, arranged in whorls around the central 'stem' to give the overall appearance of a stiff bottlebrush. Green to olive green.
