*[127 - 2023-05-17 - Labyrinthe de Zeus - Epidaurus - Greece](127%20-%202023-05-17%20-%20Labyrinthe%20de%20Zeus%20-%20Epidaurus%20-%20Greece.md) - One long branch, with other [Dictyota spp.](Dictyota%20spp..md) around.*
*[126 - 2023-05-16 - Delta - Epidaurus - Greece](126%20-%202023-05-16%20-%20Delta%20-%20Epidaurus%20-%20Greece.md) - I'm not sure of this identification, because of the color. I perhaps lose some red spectrum because of the distance, but still really white. Some pictures I saw on the web of A. armata show white/red specimens, so... *
*[128 - 2023-05-17 - Pirate des Caraïbes - Epidaurus - Greece](128%20-%202023-05-17%20-%20Pirate%20des%20Caraïbes%20-%20Epidaurus%20-%20Greece.md) - 2 branches of A. armata on the bottom left. I think the brown algae belongs to [Dictyota spp.](Dictyota%20spp..md) The white circular ones belongs to [Padina spp.](Padina%20spp..md).*
