I'm unsure if this is a lichen or not?
Found growing on mangroves on the edge of a tidal creek. They were only found above the high-tide mark where-ever I saw them.
Yay! Thank you Argy! I didn't really stop loving it. It's so beautiful. Thank you very much for the ID & link & the info on this :)
This lichen is quite special Leanne. It's endangered in many places and protected by law in the UK for example. You can love it again now.

It may be a love vine which is a parasite that ends up killing whatever it fastens to. I have found it once at the beach here in Florida and also on one of the Bahama Islands.
