| Note(s): |
An important ecological role of coralline algae on reefs (Littler and Littler 1997) is to inhibit the settlement and subsequent colonization of fleshy algae and other fouling organisms. Coralline algae represent one of only three red algal families (Corallinaceae, Sporolithaceae and Delesseriaceae) that possess intercalary cell division; as a result, they are able to shed apical cells either synchronously or diffusely.
