Notes  Diet: photosynthetic [details]

Distribution: Long Island Sound to Gulf of St. Lawrence, Strait of Belle Isle [details]

Habitat: on shells or stones or as an epiphyte on diverse algae to 15 m [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]

Remark: The conspecificity of Bangia alsidii and Goniotrichum elegans was proposed by Zanardini (1873:
457), who, however, recognized the former as a variety of the latter. The varietal distinction is not usually
recognized, but if it is, G. Elegans must be subordinated to G. alsidii. [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]
