Homotrema rubrum
Homotrema rubrum is a colonial foraminifer. It was originally discovered by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. It is a strong red in colour. It grows on coral rubble found on the reef crest in tropical waters. Ground by the surf into sand-sized pieces, it is what gives Bermuda beaches a pink tint.
