Can be refrigerated or frozen but are best dried.

Little wire weed is commonly found on intertidal and shallow reefs. The plant prefers surf and fast currents, but can also grow in sheltered habitats. The plant is pale green or greenish yellow in color with a dark brown or black base and rubbery, springy texture. Branches are rigid and flattened with opposite or irregular patterns (Novaczek, 2001).
