Notes

Commonly known as crustose coralline algae, these encrusting algae grow on rocks, coral fragments, shells, other algae or seagrasses. Hard and rock-like, their surface can be smooth or rough. Colours range from bright pink to purple. This group contains a variety of species that are difficult to identify from images, hence, no attempt was made to identify them at a lower taxonomic level (Fig. 12).
