Furthermore, in a series of feeding preference experiments, L. littorea prefers ssp. atlanticum over a variety of different sympatric algal species in tidepools. Specialist herbivores Codium fragile is consumed by stenophagous sea slugs (Opisthobranchia: Ascoglossa) that puncture the algal utricles, suck out the cytoplasm, and retain the chloroplasts.

Tomentosum and C. vermilara were not clarified until 1955–57 (Silva 1955, 1957). Records before 1955 must, therefore, be viewed cautiously. Ssp. Todd pers. ). Ssp. Hewitt, CSIRO, pers. ). The alga’s appearance was noticed in most of these cases because the areas invaded lacked native conspecifics. For example, there are no native species of Codium in the NW Atlantic north of Cape Hatteras (Silva 1962), and there are no native subspecies of C. fragile in Auckland Harbour, New Zealand (Dellow 1952, 1953, Dromgoole 1975, 1979, Trowbridge 1995) or San Francisco Bay, USA (Silva 1979).
