Ptilota densa grows on coralline algae as well as on rocks in low intertidal and subtidal water. These are worn specimens cast ashore and the Ptilota shows some yellow-green that would be red in life. The coralline, possibly Lithothrix aspergillum, is a lighter pink in life. Both are Red Algae. Measurement across the specimens ~6" (15cm).

At least my previous shots at Denver Botanic Gardens showed clean, dark water. I threw in this reverse shot at Longmont's Golden Ponds where the water was not so clean this summer when upkeep was up to nature when the news was everywhere of blue-green algae, not orange-man algae. Denver cleaned up their geese problem and provided food for the poor. The Golden Ponds in Logmont are well fertilized by the goose poo and grow vast amounts of water goo. At least the geese fertize land and water until it can be paved and sterilized toward the goal of total global warming.
Here is that Soylent Green (fine Japanese sea weed?) duck food around shore. The wealth of new life around this place shows that a new generation of water fowl (fouling) has sprouted at Golden Ponds Park at Largemont, Colorado. The river level is now coming down as the serious summer heating and resident high pressure settles in and moves very slowly because we ruined the jet stream. Oh well, we can all hide in air conditioning so long as we can throw the electric power away and burn more fossils.
I suppose that these ponds' water plants thrived around the shores throughout summer. The weather quit bouncing back and forth in the valley with our slide into record winter. Mid-westers and Eastern Trump Grumpers poopoo global warming but here we are.
I found this in my stash from a recent walk around Golden Ponds and thought it would fit in right here, It really signalled the heavy spring greenup after the big wet which dried up this fall.
I was at Golden Ponds Park at Largemont, Colorado and I was with the normal zoom lens on my camera, good for some tighter riparian shots and growth.
Blue-Green Algae collecting against the dam walls at Cairn Curran. The green caught my eye and looks great on camera but the smell was pretty bad so I quickly moved away!

These salt marshes (Salinas) are at Olhao on the southern coast of Portugal. They flood with salt water from the Atlantic which evaporates over the summer to give salt which is then harvested for culinary sea salt.
The colours you can see include the blue/green of the water; the light green is algae and pink is caused by pigments of the Halobacterium bacteria which thrive in extreme salty environments. The white is of course salt.
