Corallina officinalis is a calcareous red seaweed which grows in the lower and mid-littoral zones on rocky shores. It is primarily found growing around the rims of tide pools, but can be found in shallow crevices anywhere on the rocky shore that are regularly refreshed with sea water.

Corallina is a genus of red seaweeds with hard, abrasive calcareous skeletons in the family Corallinaceae. They are stiff, branched plant-like protists with articulations. Corallina, like all red algae, are not considered plants, despite being photosynthetic.

Corallina officinalis consists of calcareous, branching, segmented fronds, usually erect, up to 12 cm high but often much shorter. Fronds rise from a calcareous crustose, disk shaped, holdfast about 70 mm in diameter.

Corallina officinalis is the dominant characterizing species within this biotope LR.HLR.FR.Coff and its two variant sub-biotopes LR.HLR.FR.Coff.Coff and LR.HLR.FR.Coff.Puly. Corallina officinalis forms a dense turf that provides substratum and refuges for a diverse epifauna.

Ellisolandia elongata is smaller and more regularly branched; the recently described species Corallina berteroi is more caespitose, very small, and has strongly compressed terminal articulations.
