Brown algae have additional pigments which mask the green chlorophyll. These pigments allow the brown algae to extend their range down into deeper waters because the pigments are more efficient than green chlorophyll in absorbing the sunlight down away from the ocean surface.
Brown algae also come in a wide variety of forms. Some brown algae are the largest, longest and most conspicuous seaweeds found on rocky ocean shores. They are a common feature of the low-shore fringe and shallow sub-tidal zones. Some brown algae from southern Australian seas are the fastest growing of all plants.
Some examples of Brown Algae are:
