Chaetomorpha melagonium is a species of green algae of the family Cladophoraceae.
There is confusion as to whether there are two forms of this species - one attached and one unattached.[1]
Description[edit]
The attached form is unbranched growing solitary or in a small group to 60 cm long. The filaments are attached at the base and are stiff and straight. In colour they are dark green with a glaucus sheen.[1] Remarkably rigid and wiry.[2] The cells are so large they can be seen with naked eye.[3]
Habitat[edit]
Rock pools of the low littoral.[1] Never abundant,[4] but widespread.
Distribution[edit]
Widespread around the British Isles, along the Atlantic shores of Europe, Murman Sea, Greenland, Canadian Arctic.[1]
