Diet: photosynthetic [details] Dimensions: up to 2-8 cm tall [details] Distribution: Cape Cod to Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat: epi- or endophytic on Scytosiophon in tide pools [details] Morphology: Brown colour results from the dominance of the xanthophyll fucoxanthin; this masks the other pigments, Chlorophyll a and c (no chlorophyll b), beta-carotene and other xanthophylls. [details] Reproduction: general for group: most brown algae have an alternation of haploid and dioploid generations; The haploid thalli form isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous gametes and the diploid thalli form zoospores by meiosis.
