To face these problems Coralline Algae adapts in many ways such as:
To face these problems Coralline Algae adapts in many ways such as:
- Absorbing water through cell walls
- Some pigments allow Coralline Algae to grow deeper underwater
- It's red color help it blend in
- It's crust got thicker over time
- Flat structure to absorb more water and sunlight
- Flexible Structure to bend with the currents
- No vascular system
