Info

Sehr weit verbreitet sind Kalkrotalgen.

Diese hier stammt von der Insel Cebu, Philippinen.
Die Aufnahme stammt von der Importstation www.marinefauna-cebu.com.

Bei der Zuführung von Kalzium und Magnesium sind Kalkrotalgen gut haltbar.

Es gibt Seeigel und Seesterne, die Kalkrotalgen auf dem Speiseplan stehen haben.
