Chlorophytes
Some types of algae that show a distinct alternation of generations are members of the green algae group, such as Ulva and Spirogyra. These algae have a haploid gametophyte generation and a diploid sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation produces haploid gametes that fuse to form a diploid zygote, which develops into the sporophyte generation that produces haploid spores.

red algae, green algae, and brown algae
Algae produces more than 71% of the earth's oxygen. Some types of algae can live in snow. Some types of algae can live in boiling water.
Some of the types of algae are staghorn algae, black brush or beard algae, green spot algae, and green thread hair algae. Other types of algae are green water algae, and black green algae.

Phycology is the study of algae. Some engineers look at algae as a source of biomass for fuel. Amazingly there are over 2,000 types of algae.
Your local fish store should carry various types of algae and algae supplements.
