The algae Fucus spiralis is a species in the Heterokontophyta division, more specifically in the Phaeophyceae family. This species can grow up to 40 centimeters long and has somewhat dicotomous irregular branches and can be found attached to rocks. It can sustain long periods of desiccation, being able to live up to 4-5 years. It’s a very common algae species, being easily recognisable by these characteristics when it reaches its adult form. However, younger forms of the species can be confused with other species of the same genus.
