Hi All,

I noticed this morning a very small patch of what I am guessing is a type of algae or cyano that is a vibrant orange under my blue lights. I just finished a round of chemi-clean early last week (~9 days ago) to wipe of the regular maroon colored cyano. The treatment worked as all of that is gone and I usually won't see any signs of more cyano for 6+ months after a treatment. The spot it is in is medium flow and gets plenty of direct light. Any idea based on the picture provided?

If its not a problem algae I won't complain as it is a vivid orange that gives my ultra rainbow BTA a run for it's money.
