Need opinions on coralline color

[poniegirl]

The algae in the dead center of this photo is bright orange under actinics(only) surrounded by the deep red that you see. Is this a healthy state? My gut tells me something is too much.. :notsure: Or is it not coralline at all?

As long as it is hard and not soft then it is coraline. I have lots of reds and oranges in my tank as well, they look very nice under actinics.

Hard or soft is the key...
Can you blow/brush it off with a toothbrush or turkey baster...? (bad)
Is it crusty and hard and not going anywhere..? (good)
Pic is fuzzy, but kind of looks "bubbly" (round balls ??) bad...

It is quite solid, but looks..radioactively..orange.
How mature are your tanks?
I have been discussing upgrading as a remedy. I'm very tired.
