Green Coraline algae

[Young Frankenstein]

My fishtank is covered in most spots with all green coraline algae, theother algae collors dont seem to take off the ground alot. Any suggestions ? Note all parameters are within range, and it dosnot semm to change collor, can it be a light isue ?

Coralline comes in green, yellow, pink and various shades of purple. As it ages in most reef tanks it seems to change to a pinkish-purple. It is somewhat dependant on the light and in naturally illuminated tanks it may have a variety of colors. Not to worry Ready Kilowatt.

i think green is one of the coolest coralline colors! everyone has pink, its on most rocks anyways.

All my coralline started off as pink and green and is mostly purple and pink now. I miss my green coralline.

take some scrapings of the other corraline from a friends tank or buy a small piece of live rock on it-----once the scraping hit the rock they will grow
You can get increased corraline growth with higher alk levels around 12 dkH
