The Gelidiellaceae is a small family of red algae containing 5 genera of agarophytes.[1]
Members of the family Gelidiellaceace are noted by the lack of hyphae and the lack of sexual reproduction. They have 2 kinds of tetrasporangial sori (either the acerosa-type or the pannosa-type).[2]
Gelidiella acerosa is found worldwide, from Europe, North America, Central America and South America, the Atlantic Islands, Africa, Indian Ocean islands, South west Asia, Asia (including China, Japan and Taiwan), South-east Asia (including Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines and Indonesia), Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.[3]
