Notes  Diet: photosynthetic [details]

Distribution: Long Island Sound to Strait of Belle Isle [details]

Habitat: upper to mid-littoral on jettys, pilings and other hard surfaces from spray zone in upper littoral to low littoral [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]

Spelling: Often spelled as fuscopurpurea [details]
