Colorful epibionts decorate this blade of Sacchoriza polyschides near the port of Roscoff, France. Emerging from a near-barren flat, this large brown algae specimen creates an oasis-like pinnacle teeming with life. Hidden under one of its leg-sized blades lives a tunicate community creating the flower-resembling patterns seen in this photo.
