Description: Membranoptera alata is a small red marine alga growing to a length of no more than 20 cm. Its fronds are up to 2.4 mm wide and monostromatic, that is formed of a thin layer of cells, narrow and branching in one plane. A midrib runs along the center of the branches with fine microscopic veins from the midrib to the margins. The tips of the young branches are asymmetric, incurved and blunt, not pointed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membranoptera_alata
