New Coralline

caitrina · 11-06-2007, 08:40 PM

The other day I was moving rocks around in the 65, there was a reason for this, but I don't remember why, but when I moved some of the rocks and put others in new places I saw that behind my tube anemone there is red, pink and orange coralline growing on the rocks. This area of the rock does not get much light at all and because I do not see this growing anywhere else is this an indication that this is a "low light" growing type of algae and will not grow in the light? It is really pretty and I wish it would blend in with the purple that is in the light.

Yes Lynn, coralline grows dark colors from the stronger light. Under PC's on my clown tank i had in NY it was red and yellow.
