Unsure what type of algae???

I have had my tank set up for about six months. I went through the whole hair algae from overfeeding, and the green algae in the sand. Now everything has cleared up. However, I am now getting more and more rust orange color algae attaching to LR and the inside of the glass. Purple caraline is starting to grow in other areas pumps overflow etc. Is this just a different color coraline? Thanks for any help..

By the way all params good...

even nitrates 0

 

If it looks just like the coraline except only its orange, that its coraline. Otherwise, it may be something else but I'm not sure. I'm thinking it is not coraline because coraline is usually only in purple, but can sometimes be found in other colors.

 

thanks.

 

kinda looks like flatworms..????

 

Looks like coraline to me too.

 

If it is flatworms, how do I get rid of them? Are they harmful?

 

it's coraline, all coraline, relax, some of 'em are having some fun with you

OOh, no I'm wrong, that's attack coraline. I'd get it out of your tank just to be safe *ducks*, it might attack you

 

whew;D....Still relatively new at this... I was already looking into how to fix it.. Some of it does look like flakes that are not adhering all the way to the rock though. Why is it rust colored and not purple?

 

not all Coraline is purple i have red green and purple Coraline in my tank

 

Coraline is every color imaginable, most of it is purple. Most, not all. It's always worth taking a bit of good natured grief though to make sure your tank's safe. Keep asking! +1 for being a good sport.
