The plants are small, up to 2 cm in height, and have hemispherical or slightly compressed spherical branchlets that are 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter. This species is similar to C. lentillifera however the branchlets of this seaweed are without constrictions between the base of the spherical head and the stalks. This seaweed forms clumps on rocks in mid-intertidal to subtidal zones along shorelines with calm to moderate water movement and in tidal pools.
