Chaetocarpus Oblongatus

Coral weed, scientifically known as Chaetocarpus oblongatus, is a unique marine plant found in shallow coastal waters. It thrives in warm, sunny environments and is often seen forming dense underwater forests. Its branching structure and vibrant color make it a striking feature of reef ecosystems. Despite its beauty, it can be invasive in certain regions, posing challenges to native marine life. This plant plays a vital role in supporting biodiversity and shaping coastal habitats.
