Schottera nicaeensis is a species of red algae (Rhodophyta) similar to other small red algae particularly Phyllophora.
The thallus consists of short flat fronds rising from a prostrate terete branched holdfast and growing to a length of about 10 cm. It branches once or twice and bears terete proliferations at the tips.[1]
In Ireland, S. nicaeensis occurs in Portmuck, in Island Magee.[2] On the western shores of Great Britain, Portugal and in the Mediterranean.
