Enteromorpha are green algae formed by a tube flattened more or less ramified alternating inflated segments and throttlings. They are fixed at the substrate by a half-tone engraving feather-grass narrow. The green thallus clearly can reach several centimeters. Photophilic like the ulves, they develop as well in the basins of high level or means as on the rocks where they support the desiccation and the insolation. These are algae that one meets all the year but especially in spring.
