Green Coraline?

bigfish · 03-09-2007, 02:37 PM

all over the back of my tank i have small dime to quarter sized algae deposits. it looks just like corraline algae but it is green. i do have so purple and pink growing that looks the same but there is much more green. Is there a suck thing as green corraline or is this some other type of nuisance algae i should worry about?

rdz1 · 03-09-2007, 02:42 PM

i have green on my glass too. So I think it is normal.

I have green coraline algae on my LR. It's beautiful and safe.

I also have this and was wondering the same as it has only started in the last 6 mths. or so. I do think that it is Coraline algae as it has the same growth form and it started at the same time that I had a major purple Coraline spurt. I had received some GARF GRUNGE about 2 mths before that and just connected the two events...How about you, have you or anyone else put grunge in your systems and seen anything different growing? Also have new snails and some nice anemones that popped up...D

no i feed my tank coralvite once a week and a product called combovitall...which is a marc weiss product the guy at the store almost forced me to buy. but i dont think it really does too much..... it says it is mix of blackpowder and spectravital.......more reef roryour buck!!!

says it is a "water conditioning calyst to reestablish a hydro diverse normality within the ecosystem." i give this also once a week. HAS ANYONE EVER USED THESE PRODUCts??

this is weird. i just came back from the beach and observed green, purple, and bright orange/red algae on the jedi there! it looks AMAZING when the green and red are mixed on teh same rock! i wish i would have taken my camera. ill be sure to get pics next trip.

I notice the green is MUCH harder to remove from my glass...So I have to stay on top of it!!

It's coraline and it is very hard to remove. From time to time I break out the razor and scrape it.
