The gildlings genus group has replaced its ancestors, the ocean gildling, mason gildling, and the crowned gilgic. They are the base of many marine and beach ecosystems.
Like its ancestors it absorbs purple light with its yellow chloroplasts and reproduces asexually. They grow in large numbers where nutrients are abundant. When in the ocean they mostly grow where nutrients are brought up from the deep oceans or near river deltas. In the autumn the major "blooms" occur which tint the water a yellow hue. They are completely immobile and spread by flowing with the currents.
