Turbo Snails and Coraline

[tmy880]

Will turbo snails eat the coraline off of LR.
My LR looks white wherever the snail has cleaned. Is this normal.
Thanks

Does it look like this? I think it is white coraline algae.

It looks like that but only after the snail does his magic.

I've never heard of them eating coraline.

My tank has been up for a month now and the purple started spreading pretty quickly, but I have not seen the white anywhere else. It just seems to be getting thicker. My lfs people said that it was kind of quick for a new tank to start the spreading of the purple so early.

Does anybody have an explanation for this?
