👉 Colinicola is a type of marine algae that belongs to the family of Sphagnum algae, commonly known as "sphagnum mosses." These algae are characterized by their ability to form colonies on the surface of water and have a unique structure called "colin," which allows them to grow in saltwater. They are often used in the aquarium industry for decorative purposes or as a substrate for hydroponic cultivation, particularly in aquaria.
