Algae are organisms that include kelp, red, green, or brown algae, and seaweed. Algae is eaten by many sea creatures. Some sea animals that eat algae are: crabs, turbo snails, sea hares, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sea turtles, and zooplankton. Algae is also eaten by the following fish: surgeonfish, rabitfish, blennies, angelfish, spotted scat and tangs.
Red algae belong to the kingdom Protista. They are multicellular, photosynthetic organisms that typically live in marine environments. Red algae have a range of forms and sizes, from simple filamentous forms to large, complex seaweeds.
Algae are classified according to their pigmentation, cell structure, and method of reproduction. They can be grouped into divisions such as Green Algae, Red Algae, and Brown Algae based on these characteristics.
The Red Sea is named after a type of algae called Trichodesmium erythraeum. This algae can form large blooms in the water, giving the sea a reddish-brown hue.
Red and green algae are photosynthetic and are thus autotrophs. Otherwise, they are aquatic and (in the case of green algae) can be unicellular. But these are similarities that are not sufficient to define algae as true plants. All plants in the Kingdom Plantae are multicellular and terrestrial (ancestrally terrestrial in the case of waterlilies). Green algae are important in the study of plants as they show the base of the plant kingdom, hinting at what a common ancestor to the whole kingdom may have looked like. In particular, the charophytes are probably close to the common ancestor of all land plants. Thus, in the study of land plants, green algae can be considered the most recently diverged outgroup. And, earlier still, red algae diverged.
Red algae is a source of food and food additives for humans.
Several marine animals eat red algae, including sea urchins, limpets, some species of fish, and certain marine snails. These animals play a role in controlling red algae populations and maintaining balance in marine ecosystems.
yes it is and if you eat this you can die instantly.
Rhodophyta, commonly known as red algae, obtain nutrients primarily through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that enable them to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. Some species may also absorb nutrients from their surroundings, such as dissolved minerals in water.
When the red-knobbed starfish is young, it will eat algae, but as it grows it will eat soft corals, sponges, tubeworms, clams, starfish and other invertebrates.

they feed on a coralline algae which is usually pink or red and encrusts stones.
Many fish eat algae, it depends on which type of algae. But the fish that do eat algae are catfish, red tailed fish, Florida flag fish, and plecos.
Algae: Green algae, even red algae but phycoerythrin over populates it which gives the red algae its red color.
Yes, red algae and red marine algae refer to the same group of algae that are predominantly found in marine environments. They are known for their red pigmentation due to the presence of phycoerythrin pigments.
Do you mean, "Do shrimp eat algae?" If that is your question then yes, many shrimp both saltwater and freshwater eat algae. The most famous algae eating shrimp in the Aquarium trade is the Amano Shrimp. I have several in my tank because the spend their time doing nothing but going from spot to spot shoveling algae in their mouths. Another good freshwater shrimp that eat algae are Red Cherry Shrimp. They are also particularly easy to breed as well.
