A filamentous colonial cyanobacterium that lives as plankton in the ocean and often blooms in large numbers, causing red tides. It is also known by the Japanese name Aiakashio. The colonies are bundle-shaped, cluster-shaped, or spherical, and are basically made up of an aggregation of cell filaments of the same shape as those of the Oscillaria genus. It commonly grows in tropical and subtropical seas, and red tides can reach the waters near Japan on the Kuroshio Current. The name of the Red Sea, which stretches from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, is said to come from the fact that the sea turns red when this cyanobacterium blooms in large numbers.

海洋でプランクトン生活をする糸状の群体性ラン藻で,しばしば大発生して赤潮をつくる。アイアカシオの和名でも呼ばれる。群体は束状,房状または球状で,基本的にはユレモ属と同じ形態の細胞糸が集合してできている。熱帯および亜熱帯の海によく繁殖し,赤潮は黒潮に乗って日本近海に達することがある。インド洋から地中海に向かってのびる紅海Red Seaの名は,このラン藻が大量に発生して海が紅色を呈したことに由来するという。
