Yes, agar is derived from red algae, not brown algae. It is extracted from the cell walls of certain species of red algae and is commonly used as a gelling agent in food and scientific applications.
The phylum of algae that stores food in the form of floridean starch is Rhodophyta, commonly known as red algae. Floridean starch is a form of carbohydrate unique to red algae, which serves as a storage reserve similar to the role of starch in plants.
Algae and plants store their food in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as an energy reserve within their cells. During photosynthesis, algae and plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is then stored as starch for later use.
The other name for the brown algae is Phaeophyceae.
Brown algae, specifically species like kelp, are commonly used in Asian cuisines. They can be found in various food products such as sushi, seaweed salad, miso soup, and some types of noodles. Brown algae are also used to make various condiments like nori seasoning and dashi broth.

Green algae belong to the family Chlorophyceae, which is a diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that typically have chlorophyll a and b and store starch as a food reserve.

Yes, algae eaters consume brown algae as part of their diet.

Brown algae
Brown algae are autotrophic, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and other pigments that allow them to convert sunlight into energy to produce sugars.
Good tank mates for a brown algae eater include peaceful community fish like tetras, guppies, and rasboras. Avoid aggressive or territorial fish that may compete for food or stress out the algae eater.
No, brown algae is not a fungus. Brown algae belongs to the kingdom Protista, whereas fungi belong to their own kingdom, Fungi. Brown algae are large, multicellular marine algae that photosynthesize and have different characteristics and life cycles compared to fungi.
