Seaweed

There are three kinds of seaweed, green, red, and brown.

 

 Rockweed "Poppy" Seaweed

 

Poppy Seaweed is black with little greenish-yellowish bubbles on the end. They make the Poppy Seaweed float on the water and there are seeds inside the bubbles that grow each time a bubble pops or is pulled off.

 Dead Man's Fingers

Dead Man's Fingers is a type of seaweed which is clumped together when out of the water, but looks stringy and very soft when in the water. It is also called Maiden's Hair.

 

 

Enteromorpha

This is stringy and fibrous. They need plenty of light. It is a great place for thousands of little critters to hide.
