  • Life on a small scale thrives on individual seagrass blades. Here, colonies of Electra posidoniae (the chain link things) and Lichenopora radiata (the white things) bryozoans on a Posidonia oceanica seagrass blade. If you include this level of organism in the equation, seagrass rivals rain forests in biodiversity.
