I don't have a personal pic, but here's a pic from the web. Pretty much what it looked like in my tank.

My rock started with Green coraline but over the course of less than a month it went purple. Different colors usually take different light levels. A girl here local was always "bragging" about her "Green Coraline" and when we did a tank tour it wasn't coraline at all but another type of algae that was being "maintained" by her snails.

Thanks for posting that pic, I clicked on this thread because we have stuff growing next to our coraline, it looks exactly the same (shape, size, formation) as the purple. I had just assumed ir was algae, I had no idea green coraline existed. I still don't know if that is what we have...but interesting post.

I still want to know how to grow orange coralline algae, but I dont really think anyone knows how to make it show up, i think it just does...haha

it seems to grow just like coralline, and i have a piece of purple/pink coralline on my glass which i periodically use to seed my tank, and any time my snails go over it they can't eat it off the glass and this green stuff is just the same way... the snails can't eat it.
