Reproduction
Monostroma grevillei has two different
stages of development, a sexual, known, as the gametophyte generation
and an asexual known as the sporophyte generation. During the gametophyte
generation its lives attached to stationary algae, see the picture on
the left. During the sporophyte generation it lives as a microscopic alga
that bores into calcareous material, as shown in the picture on the right.
Here, it is sitting on a barnacle.
