you could also buy a heavily covered rock and smash it. or get the rock and an urchin. they eat up the top layer and it gets into the water and grows wicked fast.
whats funny with my tank is that the calcium, alk, and mag levels are crap. in my 55 they are perfect but it grows 10x slower in my 55.

dont worry, it will. i mean, u wont have that clam unless you get MH, but things will get better. i believe that pic has some darth maul palys in the bottom center (maybe not, but DeMartini owns some i believe), which are rare, but every other coral in that tank wont be too bad to get your hands on.

I guess the next question is what dictates the color of coralline that is produced?

I have asked that question here before and no one was able to give me an answer, but you have to think lighting and water params would dictate the color growth, as well as what colors you have in your tank to start with.

This is what I was thinking, but the only thing about that is I have all purple! and then I have this rock that is growing bright green coralline (and I know it is because my father took a look at it and confirmed it he has 20 + years with salt tanks) along with that bright green I am also growing purple lol... so who knows... anyway go check out my ID post I have a video with something odd in my tank!

SO I finally was able to get decent pictures
picture #1 was the first to start the growth, was slow at first and then I started to supplement calcium and woohoo faster growth
Picture #2 the second rock to start it grew some different shades
Picture #3 my favorite one so far is growing all sorts of colors!!!!!!
