Most microalgae grow through photosynthesis - by converting sunlight, CO2 and a few nutrients, including nitrogen and phosphorous, into material known as biomass This is called "autotrophic" growth. Other algae can grow in the dark using sugar or starch (called "heterotrophic" growth), or even combine both growth modes (called "mixotrophic" growth).

Do crystals grow taller in the dark or the light?
Depends upon what type of mineral is crystallizing. For some types of minerals (aragonite in particular), their growth is mediated by photosynthetic algae. Obviously, they would grow faster when exposed to light. Otherwise, the algae die and the crystals are left to grow inorganically, which may mean not at all.
