Hey everyone!
Wondering if this is the start of Coraline for me?
Hope it's not something bad
I am just over four months in.
The third picture I am using a lens which is what gives the reddish tint. It looks white brown and green I would say...
Thanks!
Paul.

Not sure what that first pic is. It almost looks like a stomatella snail. Brown/green specks are probably just algae. Try rubbing it off.

Thanks for the reply!
The first picture is not of anything specific but the whole back wall looks to be getting covered in very small white stuff.
 
Yeah, I see the buildup. If you can rub or blow it off, it's not coralline. Typically, it will be pink or purple, even new coralline. Coralline will turn brown/green/white when it's dying/dead.

Ok thanks I will try when I do my water change on the weekend. Unless it is something I should be finding out sooner.
I used to clean every side of the tank every other day , but have stopped cleaning the black plastic wall to try to grow Coraline.
