Crustaphytum is a genus of red alga first discovered in Taoyuan algal reefs by Taiwanese scientists.^[2] The epithet “crusta” refers to crustose thallus and “phytum” refers to plant. Belonging to the family Hapalidiaceae in the order Hapalidiales, Crustaphytum is one kind of crustose coralline algae (also known as non-geniculate coralline algae).^[3]
