Valonia utricularis, Creeping Bubble Algae. Rounded,
elongated bubbles arise from a runner. Roatan 2016 |
|
| Valonia (Ventricaria) ventricosa
is often noted as the "largest single-celled alga"
reaching a hen's egg in size... but it is actually a
multinucleate vesicle held down by attachment rhizoids.
Dictyosphaeria species, in the same
group, Order Siphonales, are similar with polygonal vesicles,
versus lenticular ones for Valonia. Mithrax/Emerald Green
Crabs may eat these. |

| Friend (Dr.) Myron Roth absolutely amazed at the
prospect of clearing a giant bubble algae. Actually a plexi dome at
an exhibit at the Shaw Centre in Victoria, B.C. 2010! |
