Notes on presence status | These species were formerly all classified as Lobophora variegata, but recent scientific research based on DNA showed that there are many Lobophora species co-occurring in the Caribbean. They have many forms: fan-shaped, encrusting or ruffled. Light brown to orange in color. A very common algae that grows over coral and rocks (van der Loos, 2020). |
