About the Natural Species Being Replicated
Codium fragile, commonly known as Green Sea Fingers or Dead Man’s Fingers, is a green marine alga originating in the Pacific Ocean near Japan. It has spread beyond its native range and has become established as an invasive species along portions of the North Atlantic coastline.
In nature, Codium fragile is dark green and has a distinctive fuzzy appearance with thick, tubular, finger-like branches. These branches can grow more than 30 cm long and may hang downward from rocks when exposed during low tide, giving rise to the common name “Dead Man’s Fingers.”
Natural Codium fragile can be found in low intertidal and subtidal environments, including areas exposed to significant wave action.
