red algae red algae contain a pigment r-phycoerythrin which absorbs blue light and reflects red light. blue light can penetrate deeper parts of sea than other lights of higher wavelengths. hence we find red algae in deep sea oceans
What color light can red algae absorb?
Red algae are red because of the presence of the pigment phycoerythrin; this pigment reflects red light and absorbs blue light. Because blue light penetrates water to a greater depth than light of longer wavelengths, these pigments allow red algae to photosynthesize and live at somewhat greater depths than most other "algae". Some rhodophytes have very little phycoerythrin, and may appear green or bluish from the chlorophyll and other pigments present in them.

Why can red algae live at a greater depth in the ocean than other forms of algae?
Well red algae needs to photosynthesise to stay alive, so it needs to be within the range of the sun. If it does grow deeper than other algal species it may be because it can detect light better than others.
