    As you all know i just moved into a house and was cleaning things and was woundering if coralline algea is sometimes green. It was on one of my power heads and it was hard not slimy and wouldnt come off easy but i didnt want to scrap it off.

    Yes, corraline can be green. Like Luna said however, it is generally lighter in appearance. Orange is still my favorite corraline color :)

    If it is hard there should be nothing to worry about
