    do ya'll think this is algae or green coralline? It's growing very slowly and is hard on the surface. I took a green scrub pad and scratched some of it off. I have been using purple up every other day. It is very bright, almost a neon color. I've looked thru a lot of different algae site and they only show close up pics.

    I always thought coralline would grow as small spots first instead of covering like a blanket (not sure if I explained this right). Keep an eye on it.
