Seaweed
"Seaweed" is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition. A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups do not have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweed are in a polyphyletic group. In addition, some tuft-forming bluegreen algae (Cyanobacteria) are sometimes considered to be seaweed.
Phyllospora comosa
Phyllospora comosa, known as crayweed, is a species of brown algae in the Seirococcaceae family. It is found in the oceans around Australia and New Zealand.
