Help with SoCal macro ID's

[mano]

Anyone know any experts of Southern California marine algae? I have a couple I'd like a positive ID on and then I am looking for more info on them. I have a couple of books on the pacific coast algae but some don't have photos or even the species I'm looking for. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give. If needed I can get some photos in the next few days if that will help.

Thanks!

You can try posting some pics here and we'll take a shot at it, or you can try the folks over at algaebase.

Here's one I'm having trouble with. This is the only one I have somewhat decent photos of right now. Can't get the other ones for a couple of days right now since I'll be away from work. This alga is fairly delicate and it varies from a yellowish to a deep red. It is negatively buoyant if that helps.

TIA if anyone can be me a species ID on this!

Does your algae look like the algae I posted in this thread ?
If yes I would really like to hear if you find out what it is

It is cool stuff and it may be a kind of Gracilaria but not sure, because I can't find good photos online really to compare it to. Also thinking it might be Sarcodiotheca guadichaudii, which is found in this region. I guess I will keep searching.

mastou- I think yours is different. It is very beautiful though!
