Ceramium strictum is a small marine red alga.
This alga grows in tufts to a length of no more than 12 cm long. It is densely branched but not completely corticate appearing to have a banded or collar-like appearance. The apices of the axes are strongly inrolled. The branches do not have spines. Rhizoids are numerous. [1]
Cystocarps containing carposporangia and tetrasporangia are borne on the erect thalli. [1]
Epiphytic on other algae and mussels in the littoral. [1]
Southern and western coasts of England and Ireland. [1] [2] In Europe from Norway to France and the Azores. [1]
The validity of the name Ceramium strictum is as yet unsure. [1]
