Well, sweetheart, marine algae are picky little things. They like to hang out in areas with plenty of sunlight, nutrients, and a cozy temperature. So, if you see a bunch of marine algae chilling in a particular part of the ocean, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's probably a pretty happening spot with all the algae necessities.
Marine algae have specialized pigments that enable them to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. Below 200 meters, there is not enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur efficiently. Additionally, pressure and temperature conditions at those depths make it challenging for marine algae to survive.

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.
Seaweeds that most often occur in warm marine waters are typically red or brown algae. These types of algae are adapted to the conditions of tropical and subtropical environments, where they thrive in the nutrient-rich waters and abundant sunlight.

Marine algae are simple, photosynthetic organisms that lack true roots, stems, and leaves, such as seaweed. Marine plants are more complex, multicellular organisms with roots, stems, and leaves, such as seagrasses. While both contribute to marine ecosystems, marine algae are typically found in intertidal and subtidal zones, while marine plants are found in shallow coastal waters.

"Algae" is a general term that includes plants and bacteria... but algae is a plant, and it does exist in reefs.
