    Precured rock from the LFS display tanks sure helps get coraline.

    We have:
    purple (lots of purple)
    gold
    green
    maroon (shows up super vivid when I use my red LED flashlight to go brittle star searching)
    pink

    I have deep maroon color too. At first I thought it was a case of cyano and took the rock out and scrubbed like mad with a toothbrush and did nothing to it. I got a toothpick to try and pick it off and nothing. Then I realized that it was coralline algae, woops. I have the regular purple growing now, some orange, some pink (all on my rocks) and slight bits of emerald green on my koralia that will get cleaned off if it gets too bad.
