| Notes | |
Diet: photosynthetic [details]
Distribution: Long Island Sound to Gulf of St. Lawrence [details]
Habitat: forms clumps as an epiphyte or on stones or shells, or under overhanging larger algae within the low littoral in tide pools and the shallow sublittoral [details]
Morphology: Red colour results from the dominance of the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin; this masks the other pigments, chlorophyll a (no chlorophyll b), beta-caratene and a number of unique xanthophylls. [details]
Reproduction: vegetative reproduction is rare; asexual reproduction is effected by the formation of various kinds of spores; Sexual reproduction is unique in this group due to their passive, non flagellated sperm cells (spermatia) [details]
