Chthamalia Schaffneri

Chthamalia schaffneri is a unique species of red algae found primarily in the intertidal zones of the Pacific Northwest. This organism thrives in rocky substrates and is often seen in clusters along the coastlines of Oregon and Washington. Its vibrant red coloration makes it easily recognizable among other algae species. The plant plays a vital role in coastal ecosystems by providing habitat and food for various marine organisms. Despite its ecological importance, Chthamalia schaffneri remains relatively understudied by marine biologists.
