Coralline Algae is a type of red algae in the ocean. They are multicellular and macroscopic organisms. They come in many different colors but the most common is pink. Other colors they come in is red, blue, purple and yellow. They also play a major role in the creation of coral reefs.
Geological- The coral reefs where the algae lives is actually a mix of differnt things cemented together by the Coralline Algae.
Chemical- The algae has calcium carbonate and calcite in the cell wall making it hard and able to creat the reefs.
Physical- The algae can be found around the world and without he algae there would be no coral reefs because they would not have anything to cement them together.
