The red seaweed in the centre of the image is Plocamium cartilagineum. This was photographed on the lower shore of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 10 February 2005. Notice the mushroom-like caps of the first year's growth of thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and the knobbly holdfast of the brown kelp, furbelows, Saccorhiza polschides, on the extreme right of the image. The rock is coloured pink by a covering of various species of crustose coralline algae.
