How many coralline have you got

[Mudbeaver]

I was going over my tank with some friends and i thought i had only 3 coralline algae in my tank, but no i have 5 different colors actually, how they got there , no idea.

I knew about my pink like everybody else thats the one we all get, and the my red one , its very dark redwine like color, and i had a purple rock at the beginning so the purple i knew i had.

But green? and Yellow , those two are very suttle , either because my urchins keep eating them or they just started, or they don't show that much, but i didn't even knew they came into these colors anyway. so i researched . Sure enough. A text i got from one of the source i red.



The colors of these algae are most typically pink, or some other shade of red, but other species can be purple, yellow, blue, white or gray-green.There are over 1600 described species of nongeniculate coralline algae

So what colors do you have how many different coralline algaes do you have in your tank, and do you know how it got there. Let us know. It be nice to find out if any of these other coralline have a specific ocean origin.​

My urchin seems to like the pretty colors best. Kind of like humans and the way we eat M&M's? His least favorite seems to be the ugly dried blood color. I have a little purple and pink, but mostly deep red, dried blood color. It's just like people who leave the brown M&Ms for last.
That's cool about all your colors. Wish someone sold colored coralline. That would be great.

It depends what glasses I have on and what I've been drinking.
