Actinotrichia fragilis (Forsskål) Børgesen, 1932
The branches of this red alga are cylindrical and orange in color, regularly dichotomous with blunt tip sections.
Actinotrichia fragilis forms hemispherical clumps on rocks in the subtidal zones along the coasts where there is moderate to strong water movement.
Occasionally Actinotrichia fragilis appears commercially on a coral species, and its somewhat calcified structure rarely remains viable, yet with moderate water movement and balanced seawater parameters (calcium and alkalinity) it can be quite a handsome addition to the reef aquarium.
In addition, studies have shown that Actinotrichia fragilis in the form of dry powder or gel contain anti-inflammatory ingredients that can be used for osteoarthritis and are considered safe according to the OECD guideline.
Algae are valuable producers of oxygen.
Synonymised names:
Actinotrichia rigida (J.V.Lamouroux) Decaisne, 1842
Fucus fragilis Forsskål, 1775
Galaxaura rigida J.V.Lamouroux, 1816
