Coralline algae

Coralline algae comprises a group of red algae predominantly found in marine environments. Characteristically, they possess a segmented, chalky thallus due to high calcium carbonate content, which not only gives them a robust structure but also a coral-like appearance. This calcification aids in withstanding the physical stresses of coastal waters, enhancing their survival and proliferation in tidal zones.
