Species found on squid eggs that were washed-ashore and reared. The squid eggs were originally collected at Watermouth Cove, near Ilfracombe, Devon, 13.06.18. It is presumed the algae was on the egg when collected, rather that came in with water changes during the process of rearing the eggs.

Thanks to Professor Michael Guiry for identifying the species here.
AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
