Green coraline

[saltylake]

hello everyone, it has been a while since I have written. I have recently gone some coraline growing on my glass. My question is whether GREEN coraline exist. It is the same texture and circular size as the regular purple coraline.
thank you.

Saltylake,
I have several patches of green coraline in my tank... It is a light green color... Yes, it certainly does exhist...

 

[saltylake]

I wish I had a digital cmera to show you all

Something I have been doing since I set up my reef tank, is getting small Live Rock pieces from diffirent LFS .... I choose ones with diffirent colors of coraline on them... Then locate them near one of my powerheads and let the spores spread across the tank...
I have found that some are stronger than others and over take the rocks before others do...
Colors I have found: Purple , Pink, Maroon, White, Orange , Green.... Still looking for Yellow....

How about a bluish color? Anyone ever had that?

I've got green coraline as well. Seems to grow in the same circular pattern as the other colors.
Sounds like your tank is maturing nicely.

I put in one of those "fleck stone" rocks from petsmart as a baserock underneath the good stuff. its slowly started to become covered in nice green coralline. i posted a while back about this and everyone said it was a good sign. i now have very small patches of pink showing up. so far the crabs have left it alone.

Here are the levels that each occure at:
Top Sand: white/brown
middle-top:green
middle-purple,pink, red, lavender, and in some cases, yellow
middle/bottom-blue, sometimes green.
Bottom: moroon, grey, and very rare black.

Dr.Ron knows his stuff here on all DSB's. Hope this helps!

Very interesting, I was about to ask the same question, I have a small patch of green coralline on my LR, also I have what looks like a patch of black coralline algea on my LR. Maybe I'm that lucky 1 out of 10,000 to get black coralline <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

I have some yellow on a couple of my rocks,but it does not seem as dominate.The purple and pink seem to grow over it.

Okay, I'll show my ignorance - what's DSB?
I have mostly purple and deep pink colored coraline. Just today I've noticed circular patterns of white on my back glass and white edges on some of the purple coraline on my LR. Is this also coraline? My salinity is 1.022 to 1.023 at 75 degrees, so I don't think its slat deposits - right? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />
