I think this rates as a small rhodolith. A fair few seen off T-junction, all small but loose on silty rubble bottom (or in scanty, sickly looking seagrass patches, in this case Posidonia australis).

Same basic image used in previous observation.But now SUBJECT=the BROWNISH-RED life-form apparently encrusting/coating much of the central structure. Zooming on big screen leaves me in doubt as to whether the brown-pink matter is indeed a red algae versus anything from a sponge through ascidian through bryozoan, or even (at a stretch!) a type of Coeloplana ?

A tricky mix, I find.
SUBJECT OF THIS OBSERVATION is the light brown Y-branching Algae (presumed algae, but bryozoan not fully excluded yet).I'll add a cropped version.
NB: See next submission re the larger amount of brownish-pink sessile life-form present in image.

Another quite large colony of this distinctive hard bryozoan. Common under t-junction on this dive.
