Sphacelaria tribuloides is a small, tufted brown alga forming compact cushion-like colonies on rocky substrates and larger algae. It inhabits intertidal and shallow subtidal rocky zones in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. This photosynthetic alga reproduces via characteristic star-shaped propagules and colonizes rocky marine surfaces.
