*[128 - 2023-05-17 - Pirate des Caraïbes - Epidaurus - Greece](128%20-%202023-05-17%20-%20Pirate%20des%20Caraïbes%20-%20Epidaurus%20-%20Greece.md) - The white circular algea belongs to Padina spp. (order of Dictyotales just like [Dictyota spp.](Dictyota%20spp..md).). I think the brown algae belongs to [Dictyota spp.](Dictyota%20spp..md). There's also 2 branches of [Asparagopsis armata - Red seaweeds](Asparagopsis%20armata%20-%20Red%20seaweeds.md) on the bottom left.*
