Grateloupia turuturu
About
Grateloupia turuturu, commonly called the devil's tongue weed, is a marine species of Rhodophyta, a type of seaweed, native to East Asia and parts of eastern Russia. Due to global shipping and maritime activities, G. turuturu has become an invasive species that has altered natural communities by out-competing native seaweed species; this has resulted in habitat loss in many parts of the world, primarily in Australia, Northern Ireland, Great Britain, and the northeastern United States. Other common names for this species are the "red menace" and "red tide".
