Corallina is a genus of red seaweeds with hard, abrasive calcareous skeletons in the family Corallinaceae. They are stiff, branched frond-like protists with articulated stipes. Corallina, like all red algae, are not considered plants under some definitions, but can be considered as belonging to plants in a broad sense.
