Colpomenia sinuosa, commonly named the oyster thief or sinuous ballweed, is a brown algae species in the genus Colpomenia. It is the type species of its genus and is widespread in tropical to temperate zones around the world. [4] [5]
It is superficially similar to the Colpomenia peregrina species and in older texts, such as Knight and Parke (1931), C. peregrina is referred to as C. sinuosa.
Colpomenia sinuosa contains the C6-C4-C6 phenolic compound colpol. [6]
This species is common in the intertidal and on reef flats, often growing on other algae or rocky substrates. [5] In Hawaiʻi it is found from the mid intertidal to about 20m depth. [5] It can be found in New Zealand in the northeastern coasts of the North Island, the Kermadec Islands, and the Marlborough Sounds. [4]
