Abstract
Six species of macroalgae are newly reported for the Caribbean International Biosphere Reserve Seaflower. All the algae were found growing epiphytically on Thalassia testudinum in shallow (<1 m) meadows around San Andrés Island. Two of these species, Stylonema alsidii and Colaconema hypneae, have been previously reported from Colombian waters, whereas Chroodactylon ornatum, Colaconema dasyae, Colaconema hallandicum and Herposiphonia parca are new records for Colombia.
