The species is introduced to Europe from Japan, and was first recorded in Norway in 1902. The diploid tetrasporophytic phase is now very common in Norway along the whole coast, but the haploid gametophytic phase is very rare, since tetraspores only develop under short-day conditions when temperature is 13-19 oC. The gametophytic thallus is up to 20 cm, branched, and some branches are modified to characteristic hooks.

Sporophytes growing epiphytically on Cladophora rupestris

The sporophytic phase is very common in Norway. The densely branched thalli are up to 5 cm, and the axes are uniseriate and irregularly branched. It has characteristic small gland cells in the junction between cells.

Spermatangia are formed in elongate, clavate clusters of 1-5 mm length, replacing the shorter lateral branch of a pair.
