Hard green substance on lr

[cushen123]

I've got some sort of dark green substance starting to cover my lr. Anyone have any idea what this is or how to get rid of it.Please help, it looks the same color as my lawnmower blennies poo.(lol)

Most likely some form of alage. Does it look thin, or is it like a bubble, or is it like hair?

if its hard i would say coralline.

can coraline be green? if so what other colors other then the pink/purple?

 

[uberlink]

Green, pink, purple, and red are common. White is also common, but is usually dead or dying.

Coraline can be any color, just about.

From what I understand, coraline ranges from green to pink to purple to red based on light and calcium consumption.

Is it dark like a moss green color? I have the same thing and its hard so im guessing coralline. Coralline also can be yellow.

yeah, its hard, but I can scrap it off. it is a dark moss green. all of the green coraline i've seen is light green, not this color. but I'm sorta new at all of this <6 months

I have some light green also. If it takes some work to scrape it off then id say is coraline. If it comes of easy then it could be algae.
