    The reason i'm asking is i got a bunch of base thats been sitting in a running tank for a year with no lights,most of the rock is pretty white,But there are specks of different colored coralline in quite a few areas,and one rock has quite a bit.Can this take off and spread??Or is it just leftovers from what used to be liverock and probably dead?:confused:

    It's still alive. When you do put light on it, phase it in slowly so you don't light shock it.
