    Red coralline is correct. I get that dark red color on very shaded areas in my tank. Everywhere else is purple. Neon pink comes every once in a while, but that is dying coralline I've found.

    I have all kinds of color of Coralline - Red, Purple, Pink(ish). I've even had what looks like green coralline. Not sure that's possible, but it when it grows on the glass, it needs to be scraped off.

    Every time I visit the a local fish store, I always dig through their rubble basket in their Live Rock tanks (if they have one). I try and pick out small piece with interesting coralline colors on it.
