Diet photosynthetic [details] Distribution Long Island Sound to Strait of Belle Isle [details] Habitat mid- to low littoral in tidepools or to 7 m in 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]
