Halymeniales is an order of red algae belonging to the class Florideophyceae and the subclass Rhodymeniophycidae.[2]

The type species is Halymenia C.Agardh.[3]

The red algae colour comes from photosynthetic pigments (phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin). Then the various blends of relative amounts of these 3 and chlorophyll, influences the plant colour, which can vary from dark red to blue, brown, or greenish.[4]
