    Started getting a new brite green algae growth in my tank. It is on my rock and shells, I have heard that coraline algae can be green as well and am wandering if this is what i have?

    It is all a hard algae (won't just pull or scrape of easily) no hair or stringy parts to it.

    Then I have this red algae starting on another shell...

    Yup, that looks like the neon green coralline I get before the purple.
