Dear algae expert, If any one know about the name of this species, please talk to me. It is very common in coral reef in Taiwan. Thank you in advance.
Hi! Even red seaweed taxonomy is not my specialty, i think that one belongs to Gelidiales..perhaps Pterocladia.
Best regards!
Hi Jose
Thank you so much for your suggestion, now I found that high probability is Laurencia brongniartii, you can read more information in this link http://www.algaebase.org/search/species/detail/?species_id=3617
Hi Dang!
Now I see the picture it could be Laurencia as you said. One main character of Laurencia is a depression in the tip of the branches. If the algae u show in the picture had it, so you can confirm it s Laurencia.
Best regards
btw..nice pics!
Dear Dang:
I agree with José, this species could be Laurencia.
See the picture in this link:

Kind regards.

It is almost impossible to identify this specimen since the pictures are not clear but it looks like one of the genera of Laurencia complex and may be species of the genus Osmundea
Agree with Dr.Razy and the guess of Dr. Eugenia.
It could even be Botryocladia. Please upload better pictures for identification.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for everybody, I found it in alot of book in Taiwan, the name is Laurencia brongniartii
