    So i've been getting many shades of coralline latley and i noticed this really pretty bright pink spot on one of the rocks. I know coralline comes in many different colors, but this spot just seems different from all of the other coralline that i have. Sorrry for the blurry pic but you can at least get an idea.

    Haha I have a good amount growing but I have yet been able to see it from my bed so I have to stand right in front to look at it. so I'm hoping it just grows like crazy since nothing is happening with the tank right now

    As far as craping it off I guess I have been lucky, my coralline stick's to the hardware and the rock's and most of my snails are covered. . I want the back glass covered but it will not go there....probably because thats what I want....Tanks comin along nicely Chick....Good Luck with it all....
