Coralline algae?

[nvatlantis]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could identify this yellow growth I'm starting
to see. Is it coralline, or something I need to be concerned about?
My tank is about 6 months old. Started with Marco rock (dead).
Thanks in advance

Try to get a better picture but yes I see the purple it look like it

Not sure what the yellow stuff is, but the pink stuff may be coraline algae.

You are going to have to take a better picture, zoom out a bunch. It's too hard to tell what we are even looking at.

sorry for the bad photo, here is another may be a bit better

Looks like it to me

I would say yes to the pink stuff being coraline algae.

I don't have any yet after 10 months so I wouldn't know

Pink is definitely the start of coralline. Not real sure on the yellow, looks pretty bright.

Is there such a thing as Yellow Coralline?

Is there such a thing as Yellow Coralline?

I don’t think so(could be wrong)
Probably just some random algae bloom.

There are all different colors of coraline, and yes, yellow is one of them.

I just recently upgraded to a Kessil ap700 from 3 T5's and the coralline is taking off. however today is when I noticed the Yellow stuff

Any advice as to what to watch for with this yellow growth? and what to do with it, should it continue to grow?

If you are going to the Reef Experience frag show in Nov let me know, I will gladly give you a bunch of it, it is growing all over my sand.

Where is that? Near Detroit?

I have yellow Coraline, it’s actually said to be harder to have (more rare than purple or pink) cuz it is more likely to be green never yellow. A More established Reef tank, (but my tank has been running for only 3 years)
It glows so beautifully in my tank on the rock! I even have friends and family say if it’s a coral!
Very clear picture you can see the bright gold yellow reflective Coraline.
