Hey ya'll, I'm in day 9 of my tank and I'm now up to about 9ish lbs of live rock. The latest piece was a piece of uncured rock that had the prettiest color of hot pinkish coraline on it. Along w/ lots of other live stuff on it (not exactly sure what it is, kinda looks like grey moss) even a few sprigs that looked like beginning coral. Since my tank's still cycling I went ahead and put it in for the ride. But now most of the coraline has disappeared from the top of the rock. My levels are 8.2 ph, about .1 ammonia (not fully the .2 color but not .0 either) .5 nitrite, 10 nitrate. Will the pink coraline come back after the cycle finishes? My other live rock had purple coraline on it and it looks the same. Any help guys?

If you have good lighting it will definatly come back. If you want to speed it a little add purple up.
