| Notes |
Diet: photosynthetic [details] Distribution: Cape Cod to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: Known from the nearshore. [details] Habitat: in tide pools or sublittoral to 40+m where it is common on mussel shells, bottles [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] | ||||||||||||||||
