Codium bursa is a green marine algae of medium size.
Codium bursa is a marine alga growing to 30 cm across. It generally appears as a spongy sphere of utricles which at the surface form a cortex. It is composed of loosely packed filaments which at the surface form a cortex of utricles which are single celled bladder-like or club-shaped structures.[2] It has a velvety texture and is dark green in colour. The alga is attached by a holdfast of filaments.[3]
Rare in the British Isles, the most recent record was in 1977 from County Donegal.[4] also recorded from other countries in Europe.[3]
Codium bursa grows sublittorally attached to rock to 10 m deep.[3]
