    Family Corallinaceae, division Rhodophyta, in particular Corallina officinalis, which is common on the coasts of the North Atlantic

    Example sentencesExamples
    • These reef-building rhodophytes are called coralline algae, because they secrete a hard shell of carbonate around themselves, in much the same way that corals do.
    • Additional information about the ecology of rhodophytes may be found at the Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation, whose site includes information on coralline algae propagation.
    • In protected places, every inch of rock is forested in reds, pinks, and purples of the rockweed and coralline algae.
    • In more distal positions within the ramp, the ‘background’ sediment is a fine- to medium-grained floatstone to rudstone with abundant, small fragments of delicate-branching bryozoans and branching coralline algae.
    • I will leave the lights off until the tank cycles, discouraging any green diatom growth while dosing with calcium to regenerate the varying reds of coralline algae.
    • Diversification of coralline algae during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic is well documented.
    • Most limestone deposits of reef origin consist largely of the skeletons of coralline algae, and because these are often associated with petroleum deposits, there has been a great deal of attention focussed on these fossils.
    • Fiji is the world's primary supplier of live rock (covered with decorative coralline algae and other tiny invertebrates).
    • One mechanism often proposed to explain how encrusting algae can inhibit their potential competitors is thallus shedding, which is well documented among nongeniculate coralline algae.

    • Slope sediments consist of a medium-grained, bioclastic floatstone to rudstone with abundant bryozoans, bivalves and branching coralline algae.
    • ‘Brilliant’ in its remarkable red and pink hues, ‘brilliant’ against the pink coralline algae it was sitting on, and ‘brilliant’ in its bizarre lifestyle.
    • The inner reef, where we do walk, is actually composed of coralline algae, calcium-rich plants that form rock-hard ledges.
    • It becomes covered in coralline algae, tiny plants that grow in mats and form a rose-red crust.
    • Many non-geniculate coralline algae have been suggested to actively inhibit colonization of epiphytes by shedding epithallial cells.
    • Some organisms, including sponges, barnacles, and encrusting coralline algae, can, however, survive overgrowth, without apparent damage, for indeterminate periods of time or may even benefit from being overgrown.
    1. 1.1 (in general use) a sedentary colonial marine animal, especially a bryozoan.
      (泛指)固着生活的群居海洋动物,尤指苔藓虫
adjective ˈkɒrəlʌɪnˈkɔrələn
Geology

    〔主地质〕珊瑚的;由珊瑚组成的

    the islands were volcanic rather than coralline in origin

    这些岛屿起源于火山而非珊瑚。

    Example sentencesExamples

    • The similar-looking corallimorphan covers large areas of dead coralline limestone boulders on Bermuda reefs.
    • The beach was conspicuous, not just because of the brilliance of its coralline sand but because of the absence of the waste products of human society.
    • Two coralline pillars shoulder their way up from the deep and barge through throngs of fish to emerge swathed in surf, snarling in the face of the currents that dominate this coast.
    • Sandy flats with occasional coralline outcrops dominate the bottom topography.
    1. 1.1 Of the pinkish-red colour of precious red coral.
      珊瑚红的
      a coralline pepper
      Example sentencesExamples
      • At first they appear to have produced vases with a black glaze, but this soon gave place to a red coralline colour.
    2. 1.2 Resembling coral.
      珊瑚状的
      coralline sponges

      珊瑚状海绵。

      Example sentencesExamples
      • Rhodoliths are a type of algae that secretes a coralline skeleton, a bit like a coral.
      • Archaeocyathids, which are possible representatives of coralline sponges, have a secondary calcareous skeleton of high Mg-calcite and are possibly derived from demosponges.

Origin

Mid 16th century: the noun from Italian corallina, diminutive of corallo 'coral', the adjective (mid 17th century) from French corallin or late Latin corallinus, both based on Latin corallum 'coral'.
