I take it you are asking about the magenta growths? They look like some sort of macro algae. Are they hard or soft?

im talking bout the red branching things.... and they are hard.... what do u think they might be? cause im stumped?

No, magenta is the color I was describing. I thought they were some kind of macro algae based solely on their color and form. I have no clinical bases.

I have the same things in two of my tanks. I came in on some LR and coral. But it never really grows. IDK what it is.

I have something that looks similar to that (or it USED to). started out as mere "magenta" pimples and continued to grow and now it looks like a Tree with grape like projections. Mine is some type of Macro Algae and it looks really cool.

I have the same thing growing in my tank as Al describes. That is why I suggested macro algae. I don't know what you have Kyle.

It is a different kind of coralline algae. It comes in different styles and colors. Most coat the rocks, some grow in plates horizontally and some branch out like those. I have some growing in my tank as well.
Enjoy
