Common name: Red Algae

Bangiophyceae is a class within the red algae, or Rhodophyta, known for its simple, unicellular to filamentous forms. These algae are important in reef tanks for their role in nutrient cycling and as a natural food source for various marine organisms. They can add a splash of color and naturalism to the aquarium, but their growth should be monitored to prevent overgrowth. Bangiophyceae species are often found in marine environments and can be beneficial for maintaining water quality.
