1.You know green bubble alge. is there one that grows red instead of green?
Yes, there is red bubble algea
2. you know the red slime alge. is there one that is the same thing , but orange?
Yes, there is. It also grows brown and green.
For the slime algae, try increasing your water movement and decrease the amount of time the tank lights are on. Cut back to 8 hours a day, or a bit less. It should start to go away.

to get a better understanding of the other colors of "red slime" i would like to no if there is a difference in the two colors? does the red/green/orange grow different colors under different types of lighting/color temp?maybe different majority of nutrients its feeding off of. what make the color more prominent over the other? ***)
