About

Halodule pinifolia is a species of seagrass in the genus Halodule. It is found in shallow sea waters in the western Pacific ocean.

Where it grows

Halodule pinifolia is a common seagrass in Asian tropical coasts. It forms homogenous patches in intertidal zones, or it is occasionally intermixed with other seagrasses such as Halodule uninervis. Halodule pinifolia grows in sandy or muddy sand substrates from upper littoral to subtidal areas. It is ephemeral with rapid turn-over and high seed set and is well adapted to high levels of disturbance. This species is can grow rapidly and is a fast coloniser, often heavily epiphytised.
