Coralline Algae?

[hippyman]

I think this is what I have in my aquarium anyway. I dont have any fish in it, just bought the tank a week ago, and just started cycling it with the live rock, now I have what looks like a white shell growing on one of the rocks. Its a 75 gallon, btw, with biowheel filter, if that makes a difference.

I have those also. I don't think it's coralline. I think it's a Spirorbid worm.
Does it look like this?

Bad link. If it's white and looks like a little white shell it's most likely not coralline.

Coralline is usually (not always but 95% of the time) a plating algae in that it merely grows flat and covers everything in the tank. Also unless it's bleaching (many things can cause this) it's usually not white.

Sorry about that, I'll try uploading it to my gallery.

hippyman you can't post pics that are "local" (means stored only on your computer). You need to host them online. Try this link and see if it helps any
