Thallus consisting of a horizontal branched stolon and erect branches supporting several short-stalked ramuli, each terminating in a disc. Two forms are recognizable, a more common one with narrow discs, 3 to 9 mm in diameter, and another one with broad discs, 11 to 20 mm in diameter. Erect branches up to 5 cm in height (Ref. 80758).
Used as an antifungal medicine and to lower blood pressure. Also as food (Ref. 80758). Inhabits tidepools at a depth of 3 to 6 m, or forming thick carpets on soft muddy substrates in well-protected areas. Seasonality in growth in sandy-muddy habitats appears to be related to the turbidity and salinity of the water (Ref. 80758). Also in mangrove prop roots and other hard substrates up to 80 m depth (Ref. 83908).
