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.
Red algae is a type of seaweed. This seaweed lives in warm waters.

Algae can be found throughout the ocean, from the surface waters down to the deep sea. They can thrive in a variety of marine habitats, such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and open ocean waters. Algae can also grow on rocks, sand, and other substrates on the ocean floor.
Seaweeds are living organisms, members of the Algae family. Stalactites (and Stalagmites) are formations of limestone which occur in caves, they are not living organisms.
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough light for photosynthesis to occur. Deeper in the ocean, there is insufficient light for algae to thrive.
If in shallow water, the plants that grow on the bottom, but if on deep water, on floating algae.
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.
Algae can survive on the seafloor only in shallow waters where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. Deep sea areas lack sufficient light for algae to survive.
The species in the genus Toxotes (Archerfish) all occur in fresh, brackish, and marine deep pool like waters from India to the Philippines, Australia, and Polynesia.
It grows in the Photic Zone and the Intertidal zone.
Red tides, which are caused by algal blooms, most commonly occur in coastal areas with nutrient-rich waters, such as along the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. They can also occur in other regions worldwide where conditions are favorable for the rapid growth and accumulation of algae that produce toxins.
