1) Ulva:X spores settle on rocky shores,& with low temperature,they grow into germlings.This is possible due to steady lower amplitude on suceeding days,with the result they are able to perform photosynthesis & grow.Even with daytime exposure,intensity of Sunlight being low enough,no question of bleaching.By the next spring tine – after a lapse of 12 more days,they have increased their surface area & now can withstand lower levels of wave action.As more of the algae crop up,the action of waves is lessened.
2) Mitra the small black colored mollusc,dewll on middle part of supra littoral zone,where they scrape algae like Enteromorpha.During low tide they move up the walls of rock crevices,so that they can escape from direct sunlight.When the tide comes in,they start feeding.

In a pond, plants need to be a mix of emergent, submerging, and floating species. Emergent plants, those that have their roots in the water but their shoots above water, can be added to the edges of pools. These include cattails, arrowhead, and water lilies and are homes to many species of animals. Submerging species, or those that remain under water such as elodea, are often used as oxygenators. These are plants that remove carbon dioxide from the water and add oxygen. These plants are essential in most ponds to keep the water clear. Floating species or those that are not anchored at all in the pond include plants such as duckweed, water lettuce, and water hyacinth. While not as effective as oxygenators, these plants help keep the water clear by limiting the amount of sunlight that algae receive. The algae can not survive without a lot of sunlight.
