The leafy expansions seem to be clear, translucent globules of egg-masses
somewhat. But their texture feels very grainy, like a really fine sand.

It doesn't grow free of substrate like a plant or other long filementous
algae material. IT JUST encrusts any smooth and hard surface.

Thanks again,

BG
