Calliarthron tuberculosum is a species of thalloid intertidal alga.[1]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Calliarthron tuberculosum is found on the west coast of North America, from the Baja California Peninsula to the Alaska Panhandle.[2][3]
South of Monterey Bay, California, C. tuberculosum overlaps with C. cheilosporioides; as the two species are quite similar, molecular sequencing or detailed measurements are required to distinguish them.[2]
It is commonly found in "low intertidal tidepools in moderate to exposed habitats".[2]
