    Yep :) If it grows too fast, you could always frag it and make some money off of it as well ;)

    And the other ones may be bleached because the guy I bought the rock on had some pretty powerful MH's and the rock came from the top of the tank

    is the red stuff solid, or slimy? If it's solid, it's probably red coraline algae. Slimy, I can't think of anything but cyano. But I've never seen cyano on rocks. Just on my sand.
