just curios what would be the optimal lighting for a leather coral and is red algee good or bad? I have read both and my brother is telling me its a bad sign of something. I have yet to purchase this beutiful coral from my local *** store, just wondering the proper lighting.
I have had many questions answered here and trust "you guys" over the 16 kid at the store.
thanks

----Red macro algae is good, red coraline algae is good, red slime algae is a sign of trouble. Red slime is actually cyanobacteria

[hr]
how can you tell the difference???

I had the red hair algea. It was everywhere. It took about 2 days to start to cover everything. I used Red Slimer Remover. It worked great. In 1 day, most was gone. in 3 days, the tank was clean.
My skimmer was very busy afterwards though.
