Habitat

Parasitic on Polysiphonia lanosa, the filaments grow into the host.[1]

Distribution

The species has been reported from North Russia and the Pacific.[1] In Ireland it has been confidently recorded from counties Down, Antrim[4] and Waterford[5] and at scattered sites around the British Isles including the Shetland Islands.[6]
