Ceramium circinatum is a small marine red algae.
This small red alga is filamentous, cylindrical with branched axes. It has 10 periaxial cells, that is a ring of cells forming a ring around the axis. It is not completely corticated and does not bear spines. [1] The apices of the branches are hooked inwards. [2]
This is a Mediterranean species. Records shown from Great Britain may be misidentifications as it may be mistaken as Ceramium virgatum. [3] However, it is reported from Iceland where the species is red listed a vulnerable species (VU). [4]
Palmaria palmata, also called dulse, dillisk or dilsk, red dulse, sea lettuce flakes, or creathnach, is a red alga (Rhodophyta) previously referred to as Rhodymenia palmata. It grows on the northern coasts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is a well-known snack food. In Iceland, where it is known as söl, it has been an important source of dietary fiber throughout the centuries.
Alaria esculenta is an edible seaweed, also known as dabberlocks or badderlocks, or winged kelp, and occasionally as Atlantic Wakame.

It is the only one of twelve species of Alaria to occur in both Ireland and in Great Britain.
