Now that i think about it , i added 65 watt coral life 50/50 . Would this cause rapid growth of alage .

Red slime is kind of soft and can be gooey at times. Maroon correline is hard and you would have to chip it off just like typical correline.

I was told that live rock that is deeper in the ocean and with more filtered light (due to depth, I would assume), coupled with a little less 02 creates the orange color.
I don't know if it is true or not, but the person that told me this seems to know more about saltwater than most people I talk with on a daily basis so I have taken him at his word.
I have not seen it spread and it will more than likely either turn maroon or purple from what I have been told. So, I enjoy it while I can. It hasn't changed in a few months but I certainly like the look of it in the tank.
It is an awesome orange. Bright, almost a tangelo orange..
