Common name: Red Algae

Florideophyceae, commonly known as red algae, are a class of mostly marine algae notable for their reddish pigmentation, which is due to the presence of the pigment phycoerythrin. This class includes many species that are important in reef aquariums for their ability to perform photosynthesis and contribute to the biological filtration by absorbing nutrients. Some species can also provide a natural food source for various marine invertebrates and fish. However, care should be taken as some red algae can become invasive and may need to be controlled to prevent them from overgrowing other desirable inhabitants.
