Hey guys, when I went down to port A (week after you did) I grabbed a piece of algae that was attatched to a rock, and threw it in the tank I setup for bringing back critters (Sadly, I had a big gash on my leg, so my wife didn't let me get to deep in the water to collect critters out around the jetty, she was worried about the flesh eating bacteria scare)
Anyhow, I haven't taken pictures yet, but I pretty much only saw three kinds of algae there and hoping someone could throw out the name of what I grabbed:
I DID NOT get the ugly brown stuff washing up all over the place on the beach.
(one down)
I did grab a sliver of a bright green type, looked like a ribbon, but doubt it will last, seems to be dissolving at home.
The one I am curious about, I think may be chaemataphora? it is a very dark green algae, dense, crisp, threadlike branches in Y's.
I'll try and snap a picture when I get home. I grabbed it on the stony shroe right off the backside of the marina over by the ferry boats.
seems to be doing well, and I don't even have bright light on the tank right now.
