Ceramium diaphanum is a species of marine red algae (or Rhodophyta).

Description

This small filamentous alga grows attached, or unattached, in masses reaching 20 cm across. The branches grow pseudochotomously the tips are strongly coiled in. It is corticated only at the nodes between the axial cells and form clear cortical bands. The rhizoids are multicellular. [3]

Reproduction

The full life history is not yet confirmed. Tetraspores have been recorded in groups on the nodes. [3]

Habitat
