Green algae requires stronger sunlight for it needs it to under go photosynthesis to make it gree. Red algae does too use photosynthesis, but not to the extent to turn it green. The closer to the surface, the more oxygen too, so the green algae must need more oxygen for respiration.

What adaptation helps red algae to live in deep water?

Red algae have adapted by producing pigments such as phycoerythrin, which allows them to efficiently absorb blue and green light wavelengths typically found in deep water. This enables them to carry out photosynthesis even in low-light environments found at deeper depths. Additionally, their flexible and branched thalli help them withstand strong water currents present in deep water habitats.
