Illustration of Starry Stonewort (Nitellopsis obtusa), a green, branching macroalgae with smooth stems and branchlets that fork unevenly arranged in whorls. The image highlights the white star-shaped bulbils, structures that are found on clear filaments called rhizoids in the sediment. Includes a red banner urging viewers to report sightings to MISIN with a provided website link (https://www.misin.msu.edu/MISIN).
