Green corraline

[beefcake]

I'm starting to see green coraline growth on my live rock. At first I thought it might be the start of some type of algae but it's definately encrusted and not slimey at all. It basically looks like the purple corraline on my live rock but this is green. I have it under power compact lighting with 50% 10k and 50% Actinics. I took some tests...
ph - 8.1 ( im raising that slowly )
alk - 11dkh
calcium - 450
I've heard of green coralline before but how do I turn it purple like the rest of my rock? Will it slowly change to pink or purple ? I don't like it. I'd rather just have base rock because this looks too much like an algae. I want pretty purple or pink.

Hey pbuck,

If its like a flourescent green I have that too. It looks nice mixed with the purple coraline.
