Reproduction
The full life history is not yet confirmed. Tetraspores have been recorded in groups on the nodes.[3]
Habitat
Growing as attached or unattached clumps on other algae and Zostera at low littoral to 3 m deep.[3]

gollark: There's a pattern matching library? Very cool, I might use this.
gollark: What would *geometry* look like then?
gollark: This isn't for anything where I specifically need *sentences*, but just a reasonable bit of context around a link, so it could work to just look X words left/right instead.
gollark: Especially since I just realized another really bad one, "i.e." and such.
gollark: I checked nimble directory, but there don't *seem* to be things for this, but I was hoping someone might know where there is code for it because having to work out the edge cases myself would be bad.
