    I had a rock with a few pieces of coraline on it. I placed it into the sandbed two weeks ago. Today when i was moving stuff around, I saw the rock and I saw the coraline had turned a vibrant orange! You guys ever heard of this?

    I have small specks of bright orange coraline. The only time I've seen coraline actually change colors is when you kill it. It will turn a flourescent pink then fade out.

    I have had the same thing and I thought something had fallen in the tank? Guess not, hmmm weird. I actually have a little patch that appears from time to time.
